Best foods for Angel's? Like Regal and Gold Flake?

Jeff000 · 09/12/2012, 12:50 PM

Right now I feed frozen only. Mysis, brine, small krill.

The angels eat it all, as do all my other fish. But the angels are 5-6" so figure I could probably get away with bigger foods too, but not just that, I'd like to give them the best foods for them too.

So what else should I add to their diet?

ps, they get nori too.

Try PE mysis. All my fish loves it except for the PBT that refuses to eat frozens.

You might also incorporate this into their diet...

It may be a little too early to tell but I brought in a adult Emporer last week. He does well with NLS spektrum, PE mysys and live blackworms. Starting to get the hang of nori off the clip but has only sampled the above mention Angel Formula and that is about all. I still need to try a few more times now that he has gotten comfortable but initial reaction says he probably won't have much to do with it.

yeah every fish is an individual. I have had several angels over the years and they have always liked it.

Maybe he'll warm up to it. I just tried feeding some and it seems like he is getting better but still quickly loses interest.

He may have already found candy so to speak in one of the others :-)

Yes, possibly. It is easy to tell he likes the current offerings but it almost seems like he doesnt get enough. I feed several smaller meals a day and it would be nice to have something substantial that he would eagerly take to help fill him up while providing the proper nutrition.

I use the angel formula too, along with mysis, NLS pellets and ON flakes. I have two large angels (passer and queen) and they eat everything I put in the tank.

Angels like nori and it's good for them.

Hmm, I'll have to see if I can find any of that around here.
Thanks,

I've never fed pellets or flakes.
