    Matthew, I really enjoyed your interview with Reefbum. As a 30+ year reefing veteran it gave me a deeper appreciation for what you are doing for beginners. Keep it up.

    Feeding a variety of foods is great for our fish. Good job on recognizing the different dietary needs of different fish as one specific food won’t properly suffice. Great editing job Mathew. 👌

    Loving the videos!! Im making my own food with shrimp, scallops, a tin of cyclops, one pack of frozen mysis cubes. I add vit C, garlic extract and selcon. feed twice a day and the evening feed i also add hikari seaweed extreme to the mix. the batch usually last around a month and a half.

    I’m a big fan of the NYOS German certified organic pellets. I use the Goji and the Algae pellets and they are a huge hit with my fish! They are soft, sink at a moderate rate, and can be mushed or crumbled for smaller fish way easier than hard pellets.

    A little late to the video but had I not seen that jar of BRS brand freeze-dried calanus, I probably would've never known that BRS has their own food options. Welp, guess I know what I'm adding on to my next order. Great videos!!!

    For frozen food, why not recommend PE Mysis shrimp because of it's 69.5% protein, 8.35% fat, 2.75% fiber, and 5.5% ash? That seems like it's more more nutrient dense than either Hikari mysis or Canadian mysis brands you recommended.

    Thanks for this video. I used to add Selcon or frozen but now you are saying it’s not well absorbed by frozen. I mostly feed Hikari mysis but heard it’s giving fish a Big Mac. Seriously? My tailspot blenny doesn’t care for flake but he tastes it but spits it out.

    Flakes and pellets are my favorite but frozen foods are often given as a treat as I don't want the fish I have to get used to the treats so it's a once a week treat.

    If you intend to be away for a week at a time (vacation/business trip) and thus feed pellets with an auto feeder, should you also be sticking to pellets when you're home so they'll be used to them? Or will the fish adapt? Thanks. Love your videos!

    Definitely best to get them used to the pellets ahead of time. While some fish will eat just about anything you throw in the tank, some are really picky eaters and will take time to get used to different food types.

    Sometimes it can take trying a few different types of food to find one that they really like. You can also try some live foods like live brine. While adult brine shrimp isn't all that nutritious, it's a great way to entice a fish to start eating in a new tank.

    Aside from the lights being on, there really isn't a best time to feed your fish. Just look into the feeding habits of the fish you plan to keep as some like to be fed multiple times per day vs one larger feeding.

    Aquarium foods are rarely cooked, so that shouldn't be an issue. Of course, that's assuming that it's cut up into pieces small enough for your fish. Check out this video where we made our own DIY fish food! kzread.info/dash/bejne/fmWlxbSQhrK_l84.html
