i was always wondering how a anemone would like a FW feeder fish?

i have seen them at the fish store grab a feeder smack it on the counter then feed it to an anemone before...i would assume a fish is afish and the nem wouldnt kow the difference between FW and SW fish..

i have a mini carpet and i feed him Mysis, Krill, Baby Brine, Rotifers, and cyclops...i just take a small piece of each mix it in cup of tank water and use a turkey baster to feed him..it would seem a bunch of the food makes it into the water column which inturn feeds everyone else, which thankfully keeps the shrimp, crabs, stars, and fish out of the nem while he is trying to eat..

My H. magnficas love salmon. If you can get it fresh, it is a very nutritious food for your anemone. It has tons of good oils in it. But, it is oily, so avoid the fatty part and stick with the nice red meat.

Nano, some anemones will eat FW feeder fish; however, from what I've read, it isn't a good idea to make a staple diet of FW fish as they don't have the levels of good fats that marine sources do. In other words, they aren't as nutritious.
