    When I started my tank with my dad, I originally was more interested in the fish while he was more interested in corals. Now I am more interested in the corals and he is more interested in the fish!

    I went out looking today for more corals already, but I figured I better give it a week or two to settle back down.

    How does one feed the frogspawn brine shrimp? I want this thing to grow super fast...

    You can use a turkey baster to target feed it. Works pretty good, just try not to blast it with food. It can grab it easier with barely squirting it out.

    Should the frogspawn take it into its mouth in the middle? It didnt seem to eat anything..

    Frogspawn, although would probably benefit from target feeding, is not really necessary, they get all they need from photosynthesis, and good mag and calcium levels, i have never target fed mine, but it will grab floating bits when i feed the fish, krill or mysis,

    oh I know I don't have to target feed it. I would like to so it will grow a little faster for me. And to see what would happen.

    They are more likely to grow faster with good water parameters. Alk, calcium, and mag.
