Well, as some of you know, my tank is home to a pair of clownfish for the time being. They currently have no tankmates, its just them. They appear healthy and are very active little guys but I'm a little concerned with feeding them. As these are my first marine fish I really dont have any experience dealing with them and want to make sure I'm doing things right. At the moment I'm feednig them Hikari Marine S sinking type pellets which is what they were primarily fed by the LFS they came from. They GOBBLE the pellets up like it was their job when I do feed them. They've been getting a decent sized pinch of food twice per day (morning and evening). I've tried feeding them frozen bloodworms, frozen brineshrimp, and Omega One Marine Flake as well. All of those 3 foods they nip at but they dont really gobble them up like they do the sinking pellets. Should I continue to try and get them to eat those other foods even if they're not eating them? Perhaps on an every other day basis to try and get them to develop a taste for it, or will they be picky eaters?
I'm pretty sure I'm not overfeeding them as my nitrate levels have actually come down since their initial introduction to the tank. THey bumped it from 0 to 10 when I introduced them, and since then its dropped to less than 5ppm. Is my current pinch twice a day enough for them, or should I try any more?
