Mag feeding

SNAKEMANVET · 05/10/2017, 07:44 PM

I have had my H Mag for about 3 1/2 years,It was huge when I got it. It was about 12 " across and it's about 6 to 7" across. Still looks healthy and eats very well. It up high about 12 " from a 250 watt my.Any suggestions on getting to get bigger. I feed it frozen mysis and a occasionally minnow.

How often do you feed?

Twice a week, my clowns will pull the food from the anemone when feeding.

Lighting and feeding and good water quality with fresh water changes to replenish minerals etc. is all I know to do. Is your mh bulb fresh and operating at full capacity, I know they need replacing after so long. Many feed small chunks of scallop, table shrimp etc. after thawing and rinsing well. The anemone would probably get more from this than what mysis your clowns give it. Also be advised that many on here are against feeding silversides, they have been said to cause sickness and other issues.

I feed it live minnows, my clowns will pull the food out from the anemone.I do 45 gallon water changes every two weeks.

I guess I will have to remove the clownfish, they keep taking the food and spitting out in the current.
