Feeding Coral Beauty

Hi everyone,

I purchased a coral beauty a week ago...........its great but i feed it this algae cube formula from ocean nurtiton but it doesnt eat it its to busy pecking at teh back fall and teh rocks........The back of my tank was full of green alage b/c i had never cleaned it and he eats it all day long its almost gone......and he poops like crazy..........Is this ok thats its all he eats? Trust me hes eats alot plenty of waste...........All my level's r good.....any ideas and thought?

Would and algae clip be good

Thanx Adam

 

Hi Adam - sometimes fish dont recognise the food stuffs we put in for them - its not their natural diet . they do eat a lot of algae, many dwarf angels do, you can see their mouth prints on tank walls that have not be cleaned recently

Im pretty sure he/she will come around to eating the commercial foods you put in for it ,
often new fish, pick up on what resident fish are doing and follow suite

give it time and as long as he looks well rounded you should be OK

try a drop of garlic extract on the prerared foods, this can stimulate a feeding repsonce

 

hey pop. my coral beauty eats pretty much anything. grazing the rocks , glass etc. he eats flake , pellets and mysis shrimp. hes never shown any interest in the seaweed clip tho.

 

Meaty foods, and an angel formula fortified with sponges.

 

Ok thanx guys ill keep trying............Hes def healthy he swims in and out of the rocks and eats all day............Thanx agian

 

I use a mixture of Rod's food and a cube of the Ocean Nutrition Formula Two (for angels). Our coral beauty wouldn't eat the flakes at all, but she goes nuts over this stuff. She also picks at the rocks all day and will pick at an algae clip.

 

My Coral Beauty will take Ocean Nutrition Formula Two also and does eat seaweed from the clip. He actually has to fight his way to the clips before my two Blue Tangs eat it all. Im pretty sure I have seen him eat some flakes, but he sure doesnt prefer them.

 

ours ate flake and algae from the clip no problem. Grazed all day too. R.I.P. nippy, he was a victim of ick.

 

Hi all Ive used ocean nutrition for dwarf angels formula..............He picks at it but yetserday he hate alot of mysis shrimp which he has never done im happy he is eating an assortment.............Lisa would you mind if I named my liitle guy Nippy its a great name , me and my girfriend have been thinking for a week now............
