Hi,
As you all know I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to salties, so I'm seeking your advice.
I feed my clowns dry flake with spirulina and frozen Gamma brineshrimp. They are both around 45mm from snout to caudal peduncle but the will only take small foods. They will not take whole brineshrimp prefering instead to eat the pieces. The same with the flake I have to literally crumble it between my fingers inorder for them to eat it. They are both healthy, Deporting well and fins are errect. Maybe I'm used to feeding fish well and like to see a bulge in their belly then I know they have had a good feed. Clowns seem to be different, at least mine are.
Is this normal behaviour for this species. I was thinking if they like small foodstuffs then newly hatched brineshrimp should really be on the menu. Any views guys...
Regards
BigC
