is frozen food enough??

[yellow_tang2009]

In my 55g I have a trigger a foxface and a clown and anenome. I am feeding only frozen food. I feed one cube of brine shrimp, and dried alge and the next day a cube of marine cusine, and a silverside for the anenome and trigger. Is that enough or should I feed flakes too??

Thanks

i would say if youve been using it for a while and your fish seem happy dont change anything

Make your own. Krill,squid,silversides,mysis,brine,green seaweed flake, spirulina all mixed up in a blender and make frozen cubes with it.

ok and how much should i feed just one cube every day once a day?

Thanks

i think they say whatever your fish can eat in 2 minutes

Newb question here...:o. When I use the frozen cubes like Marine Cuisine, how do you use it? Mix it up with a little water and turkey baster it into the tank, or just drop a frozen cube in and let the fish pick at it?

[shag26272]

well the way i do it being i have a small tank i just slice a little off with a knife and hold it in the tank and move it back and forth and it melts in a few seconds

[yellow_tang2009]

I put some of my tank water into a cup then the cube and wait for it to melt.

I melt it in a cup with a little tank water. After it melts, I drain the water (big source of phosphate / nitrate) and soak the food in Selcon for about 15 minutes before adding it to the tank.

I rarely soak mine in Selcon or Zoe ... but always soak + drain before adding. The only exception is cyclops-eeze, which draining would lose all of.
