Pellets or Frozen

[regaltang]

Pellets or Frozen which is better?

 

[rdnelson]

I alternate between the two. On the pellets I use New Life Spectrum Marine.

 

[jhutto]

Fish need both.

frozen:

PE Mysis
Hikari Mysis
Hikari Frozen Spirulina Brine Shrimp

with Selcon

and some nutra-ova weekly or by-weekly

good to go!

I think a diverse feeding program with mostly marine organisms is best to provide optimal nutrition for our reef fish. PE mysis (a fresh water organism) are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, but are not optimal as the only</em> source of nutrition. Brine shrimp are nutrient deficient, but the gut loaded spirulina brine are a step in the right direction.

I feed a mixture of frozen and only feed pellets if I am in a rush. Some of my fish will not eat pellets at all...

Mysis
San Francisco Bay Frozen Reef Plankton
Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef
Ocean Nutrition Formual 1
Ocean Nutrition Formula 2
Ocean Nutrition Pygmy Angel

I feed my fish 95% pellets. It is less messy, more nutrients, lasts longer, and cheaper. All my fish are healthy and probably a little overweight. I don't feed them but once a day for 3-4 minutes.

 

[enderg60]

My fish get fed 4 times a day with pellets(auto feeder) and once a day with a DIY mix of frozen foods(when Im not feeling lazy).

Auto-feeder drops pellets 4 times a day. I feed a frozen concoction twice a day.
