Feeding Shrimp To Fish

[omega59]

Okay so i baught some frozen shrimp that are slightly cooked.. i tried to feed them to my clown but they will not eat it at all. Should i dry it out then mash it down instead?

 

[omega59]

hello?

Mashing it down with a bit of garlic might help.

eat them yourself and buy some uncooked ones

okay.. hey i'am just trying to give them a treat or two

keep in mind that if the shrimp is to large you'll have to chop it up. As with any new food they may not eat it the first few times. Just keep trying especially if they are carnivores (don't know what other fish you have in the tank, if any). It could really benefit them.

Try soaking it in garlic

Oh , I was only teasing, sorry it didn't come across that way, apologies

I was thinking their loss was your gain

[omega59]

alright

 

[kj23502]

I wouldn't put in any other damsel, imo.

There are lots other colorful fish that you could add

Okay, which are they because i only can find Gobies. I'm also interested in marine plants, do they need special lighting?

 

[kj23502]

marine plants can do ok on basic marine light, I believe. Don't quote me on that one.

There are quite a few dwarf angels that could go in there. Some wrasses six line, canary wrasse. blue flasher wrasse.


others but I gotta run now

 

[omega59]

okay thx!

 

[kj23502]

ok I'm back. Depending on your substrate; jawfish

Sunburst anthias since they don't swim as much. Only a single. Don't try more than 1 in a tank this small.

Chalk bass Serranus tortugarum

hawkfish, small species of puffer, firefish, blenny (i think midas)

 

[omega59]

1 Sunburst anthias
1-2 Chalk bass
