Liveaquaria states it as well.

"Its diet should include chopped fish, shrimp, or worms if a clownfish is not present."

I just don't think dumping dead fish into a tank (silversides) makes sense. They are mostly photosynthetic anyway.

It take a couple of weeks after splitting for them to be able to eat.

While I see the logic in this about not putting a small piece of dead fish in the tank, essentially, it's the same as feeding any frozen foods....brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, the mixed stuff. I am going to try and see what happens if I don'r feed them now too. Although the difference is, before I didn't have a clown hosting, now I do. Guess we will see

I've have always gone by bills advice with nems and it works. in the wild I'm sure they don't get food constantly. as long as you have a stable tank good parameters and good lighting nems do well. also with clowns hosting they also poop and feed it, sometimes bring it food.
the best advice you can get will be from someone like bill who has been doing this a while. here's a pic of mine after it settling in new tank, I've never fed it

Ok, I'll give it a try and leave it be. I got a gold stripe maroon pair and the male is hosting already. The female is being a tease and isn't quite giving up the goods yet. She just swims close enough for a good look lol

Mine only get what they manage to snag when I feed the clowns. They really don't feed it, but it does get some food. I'm feeding almost exclusively pellet food. Clowns spawn every 10 days or so.

Thats awesome they spawn that much. Mine won't be spawning for a while Im sure. The female is much bigger than the male. It would be the equivalent of Godzilla breeding with a lizard
