Feeding

[Outatime]

Hi all

I am going to be buying some shrimp, hermits, snails from James shortly and wondered what you guys normally do about feeding, anything special?

I have a few fish, inc naso tang, large foxface, yellow tang, lawnmower blennie, cleaner wrasse, royal gramma, 4 maroon clowns. I usually feed them half a sheet of Nori and 2 blocks of food (brine shrimp, krill, marine mix etc) and this is usually finished off in about 2 mins if that.

So I am a little concerned to what hermits and shrimp will get to eat, don't want to starve anything! Do you usually give your critters anything extra to mak esure they don't miss out?

Thank you

Stu

Hi LL

Nope, 5 footer, had it for nearly 3 years now and I can't really upgrade to a larger tank just yet.

Out of interest how much Sea Weed do others normally feed there Tangs and how often?

Hi I've had a boxer shrimp for a couple of years now and I have never fed it nor the crabs or snails there seems to be enough to pick of the live rock plus any uneaten food finding its way to the bottom.
