What's in that fish food? How to understand the nutrition facts that your fish food is giving you so you can make smart choices about the food you feed your reef tank.
The US FDA or State regulations require that guaranteed analysis labels show some things (like crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and moisture), and some companies go beyond that. In general, foods with higher levels of protein and fat will help our fish grow more and they'll have stronger immune systems. That helps them better live in the sometimes stressful environment of our reef tanks. Good quality food even helps your coral!
Freeze dried foods often have higher levels of protein compared to pellets, but they're harder to feed. Either way, feeding your fish a couple times a day is best for most species of reef or saltwater fish. Give them whatever they'll eat in a couple minutes and no more. Try to give them a varied diet, every different food they eat will have a slightly different nutritional profile - different vitamins, different minerals - and that variety ensures they get everything they need.
I feed my fish a variety of pellets and freeze dried foods, alongside frozen foods. My rotation goes through PE Pellets, Panta Rhei Sponge, AquaForest Anthias Pro Feed, TDO Chroma Boost, and Nyos Wild Goji. I also feed half a sheet of raw untoasted Nori to my tangs and angelfish, and the whole tank enjoys a mix of various varieties of Rod's Food and PE Mysis each afternoon. I also have an auto feeder full of Avast Marine's Reef Jerky freeze dried food that feeds a few times each day.
