Clowns?

[jrose40]

I have two clowns in my nano Oceanic 14..How much and how often should I feed them, I am feeding them now once a day the frozen brine.

I usually feed mine 2 or 3 times a day but what's your setup like and how long has it been going for?

In such a tiny tank it would be disaster to feed that often. I would feed them once a day a very tiny amount of quality frozen food. The food you are feeding currently doesnt have much nutrition in it, its kinda like candy for fish. I would go to petco/petsmart and pick up a variety of the foods they offer and rotate through them. Variety is the spice of life and the key to a balanced diet for our fish!

The brine spira is not good for them?

 

[little_fish]

its ok for them, but there are better options out there. You can live off pizza, but its not the best thing to do for yourself.

 

[jrose40]

What is the best thing to feed them?

 

[BL1]

The best is a variety of frozen foods like Mysis, krill, emerald entree, marine cuisine, rods food, etc

Once a day sounds great...that's all my clown gets too...and I feed mysis shrimp, about 2-3 pieces.
