Spot feeding Rics?

[vanceny]

For those that do so, do you need to put an inverted bottle over them so fish do not steel the food? Also what are you feeding?

Thanks.

I would think spot feeding is totally unneccasary for rics....


but im a rookie

That maybe true but I think if you want them to reproduce faster spot feeding would help. I think that our vendor here SWA has a feeding procedure that they use.

You could try spot feeding cyclopeeze, but i never feed mine and they;re growing - from SWA too.

they eat whatever you give them - krill, mysis, brine

I think they grow faster as well but its hard to keep all them shrimp and snails and hermits away......i used the soda bottle trick but the hermits wud just pick the bottle up and go under and snails wud make it in too

before i feed my corals what i do is squirt a bunchof food into the corner wait a couple of minutes for my shrimp snails & hermits to attack it then i feed the rics and so on. works so far.

Yeah I give my rics shredded raw shrimp and silver sides, they grow pretty quick. They're in my frag tank right now and it doesn't have too big of a clean up crew so I'm not sure about the hermits and such stealing from them.
