All around fish food.?

[bckane]

What is the best all around fish food for my reef tank?. At this point I only have snails, 2 peppermint shrimp and a mated pair of coral banded shrimp....and one damsel that I cant get rid of...for coral I have a rock full of shrooms

With that livestock your probably fine with a little flake food. OSI is a good brand.

But there is no best single food. I feed a variety of frozen foods; mysis, cyclopeeze, homemade frozen food, grated frozen salmon, OSI spirulina flake etc.

i've had nothing but good results with Formula 1 and Formula 2 flakes, but I agree that a variety of actual meatier foods is always a step up from flakes alone.

I use my own concoction. Generally it is what everI feel like picking up from the fish market, saltwater stuff of cource. Usually shrimp, clams, fish, squid, etc. I also add some nori I get from an oriental grocery store, unseasoned. I take about half of what I get and blend it to a liquid. I add the rest and blend it a litte so it is chunky. This I freeze the whole mess in a shallow baking pan. I make a couple of quart sized ziploc bags at a time and it last for a while.

I use among other foods an Anti-Parasitic food called Spectrum Thera-A+A its done very well for me in keeping my fish healthy.

My fish have fared well on various Ocean Nutrition frozen cubed mixes.

I can't get my fish to eat the cubed stuff. They eat flake like crazy and grated brine shrimp nearly as well. They do not seem interested in anything else (except hermit crabs when they are changing shells )
