Ben,
I have been using Tetra Nature's Delica Brine Shrimp over the past few
months with amazing success. I highly recommend it. The food is basically a
nutrient gel, with brine shrimp suspended in it. It does not break down in
water, like frozen food, and fish are able to consume all of it. I have
always wanted to keep anthias, but have never had the patience to feed live
food or deal with many combinations of foods. A friend of mine was
experiencing these same problems with a group of 6 flame anthias (all
female). He started using the Delica and has had some amazing results. One
anthias changed completely from female to male in less than two weeks. All
the fish have put on considerable weight compared to when they were eating
frozen foods and live brine and now actually prefer the Delica to other
foods, even live brine. I now have a school of 24 tiger anthias feeding
exclusively on the Delica Brine Shrimp and Delica Bloodworms. They are fat
and healthy. I would not encourage yo!
!
u to use only this food, especially with tangs, but it makes a great
addition to the variety that you already feed. Try it out, and I encourage
others on this list to try it also.

I was wondering what other people on the list feed their fish. I am coming
to the end of my flake food and need to buy some more. I have been using
O.S.I. spirulina flakes and marine flakes. I also feed seaweed selects a
few times a week and brine shrimp once in a while (every couple of weeks I
remember to pick some up and actually feed it to my fish, most of the time I
buy a bag and forget it in the back of my car for a few days before I
remember.) Sometimes I will defrost some shredded clam and put it in about
5 minute before the lights go out. I am feeding 3 yellow tangs, 4 green
chromis, a dragon gobi, a watchman gobi, a clown, a cleaner wrasse, 4
cleaner shrimp, a sally lightfoot crab, and about 50 or so hermits.
thanks
Ben
