feeding clowns?

[dpotts]

Hi ya'll. I finally added 2 clowns to my new 29g biocube. I also have 1 cleaner shrimp, 3 peppermints, hermit crabs and snails. I have been feeding frozen food but was wondering how often and how much to feed? I've been cutting a little cube into thirds and feeding 3 times a week but that was before I added the clowns.

From what I've been reading, they recommend 2 small feedings a day for clowns. My wife does the same as you and cuts the frozen foods into halves or thirds. Right now she's rotating fomula 1, formula 2, mysis, and brine shrimp.

If you're looking for a good book on clownfish, there's one by Joyce D. Wilkerson called "Clownfishes". May want to check it out sometime if you have the chance.

FYI, when you feed the clowns or any fish for that matter, feed them small amounts at at a time. This will decrease your bio load in the tank, especially a small tank like yours. My gauge is small enough amounts so the fish eat it all before it gets to the bottom.
