    I bought a used tank with live rock that had been running for a few months and when i got it I returned the fish back to the LFS and let the tank settle down. I've been checking levels and everything has been stable for a week now so I decided it was time for fish.

    I got a firefish goby, a ocellaris clownfish, and a skunk shrimp. There's a few snails in there but I want more (only 2 so far). I wanted a peppermint shrimp but the store didn't have any.

    They're all currently drip acclimating and will go in the tank soon. I have New Live Spectrum marine formula 1mm pellets, Ocean Nutrition prime reef flakes, and frozen Emerald Entree.

    Will those choices suffice or do I need something different? What would your feeding schedule be for those two fish and shrimp? Thanks.

    the fish you have do not have a taxing feeding requirements, I try to do two small feedings a day to keep everything fat and happpy in my tank.

    also by small try and feed enough for everything to eat it all in about 2-3 minutes with the powerheads off.
