Feeding Pygmy Angels?
October 21st, 2009
Michael A asked:
What exactally should you feed pygmy angels? I would like to get one for my tank, which presently houses 2 ocellaris clowns and a royal gramma basslet. I know both of those eat mysis shrimp. I’ve seen different opinions on different websites (liveaquaria, saltwaterfish). One says algae grazer and herbivore, other says mysis shrimp, frozen meaty foods, algae grazer, flakes, etc and omnivore. Which is it? Would Julian Sprung’s SeaVeggies Flakes or something similar be good to suppliment with the mysis shrimp? I have a 36 gallon tank with a good number of hermits and snails, so I’m not sure how much algae there will be for the angel to graze on. I’ve also read they may nip at corals if not fed enough, and would like to avoid them nipping at my polyps. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
