Target feeding starfish and anemones

mjlewis · #1 12/20/2007, 10:37 AM

Could someone fill me in on where one might buy silversides in Columbus? Is my only option to buy frozen silversides from a pet store, or can I buy it fresh somewhere?

Any suggestions on other alternatives to target feed starfish and anemones?

Thanks.

I buy frozen krill and use those to target feed my Anemone.
I soak them in tank water for 5 minutes so they are fully thawed.
I also feed some Formula one from time to time to try and vary their diet a bit.
Not sure where to get Silversides.

frozen and freeze-dried krill and raw shrimp are what I use to target fed my nems.

It works.

maybe try minnows from a bait shop. I think they're seasonal though.

I always use silverslides. AA has them. they are frozxen in thin packets. white whole frozen fish. you have to cut them down to the size you need

jacks also has them, phishys ect.

You can always go to Trader Joes and buy a bag of their seafood mix. It has shrimp, squid, crab, lobster, scallops for about $6 a bag. Best thing about them is that none of their food contains perservatives or other additives. This is what i do for my main fish food and any larger chunks i just give to all my Nem's.

Thanks for all of the great ideas, everyone. I picked up some frozen krill, and I'll look at what Trader Joe's has to offer.
