what do you guys feed your fish?

[nycsicktank]

it seems like most people in here feed Mysis Shrimp as their main diet. Is Mysis Shrimp there only main diet? do this frozen food expire? how do good flakes do?

 

[KathyC]

I use the mysis & mix it with with other foods like shrimp, clam, crab, spirulina etc... and then freeze it in thin layers in zip lock bags to make my own fish food.
I rotate this meaty food with cyclopeeze, pellets and flake food so they get a varied diet. Additionally, I feed nori on a veggie clip for the fish to graze on.
I buy the krill as a treat for my Oscars.

If you run a search on fish food receipies you'll find others and different methods of making/freezing your own food

I feed a mix of formula 1, 2 and prime reef flakes as a staple diet and MYSIS as a treat.

I make a batch of krill, mysis, angel food, flake food, chopped up nori, in a mix of saltwater and garlic (seachem formula).

 

[OctaviousMonk]

Frozen: Mysis, formula 1 and 2, emerald entree, cyclopeeze and brine. all soaked in garlic and selcon
Dry: formula 1 and 2 pellets and flakes
Nori soaked in garlic and selcon for grazing.
All of this on a random cylce and sometimes mixed together.

I was hoping someone here would have said they feed NLS. The owner of this product swears by it and even has a Video on his site showing off all of the Marine Fish that feed solely on this food. There is even a Moorish Idol in the tank! I plan to make NLS a main part of my staple. I have used it for African Cichlids and they look like Crack Fiends when feeding this food!

is selcon really that good, been seeing it more and more lately

 

[basiab]

The main thing is to have a variety of foods regardless of whether you make it or someone else does the mixing. That is the only way to get all the nutrition the fish need. Selcon is a vitamin additive not a food.

Besides many of the foods mentioned and a few I collect I hatch brine shrimp every day and also feed some live blackworms every day.
Most of my fish are in breeding condition and many of them spawn.
