Basically they'll eat anything. Mysis, brine, Formula 2 flake, pellets, and nori. Mine are happy to eat anything I offer. Just make sure they get some nori in there diet. There really not very picky.

Nitrates from flakes? Might be of phosphate.

saw your earlier QT post. What did you decide to do as far as separate or together?
