feeding BTA's

[jamie wilson]

just a quick question... how often do you feed your BTA's... what do you feed them...

i have tried feeding scallops, krill and clams about once a week and i can not tell if they just do not like or if the clowns are pulling the food out of them before they get a chance to ingest it...

i have often wondered the same thing...ill tag along with this thread and hopefully we can learn something...

I usually feed my fish and inverts before I feed my BTA, that way nobody steals anything from it.

By the way, I feed my mysis shrimp and when I do the BTA usually closes up like a ballon so that nobody can get anything.

ok, ive seen that happen, funny thing is that with the carpet...my clown fish will pull stuff out of its mouth...brave guy!..but the carpet also extends and forms a funnel and then closes...so I think it gets plenty...

I feed silversides, shrimp & scallop from the grocery store and frozen formula 2.

Both of mine puff up like balloons.

I feed it raw shrimp every two days. Nobody in the tank dare to get close to it.
