Got a new angel, requires plankton feeding. What's a good brand?

That's not the actual fish in our tank, the wife and I are too sick to take any good pictures

Anywho, we did our homework on this one and we've learned that they're quite fond of plankon. We've never had to feed that to our tank and we don't really have much experience with what brands are better than others, etc... We picked up a pack of San Francisco Bay frozen cubes and she seems to like them, soaked them in garlic and she became even more fond of them. At first she didn't take to the large chunks but I guess hunger got the best of her and soon she was playing connect-the-dots with every piece of food floating in the water column.

Do swallowtails benefit from Angelfish food mixtures, or should we just add plankton to our buffet of fish foods to keep her fat and happy?

Thanks!!

Mine ate everything I fed including PE mysis, formula 1 & 2, enriched brine, and spirulina flake. These guys wont benefit from sponge mixes but need lots of meaty seafood. Great fish.

Got it, don't bother with sponge mixes, just add plankton to meaty foods offered.

Do they take veggies at all? We thought about hanging a nori strip in there for her.
