Banggai Cardinalfish Demolishing Live Brine Shrimp
As some of you may recall from our Facebook updates, we recently decided to try our hand at breeding Banggai cardinalfish. Because the fish is fairly easy to breed in captivity, from most accounts, and a very important species to the aquarium trade, we figured our efforts would see the most traction with this particular [...]
For Finicky Fish, Live Foods are the Best Option
The marine aquarium hobby is riddled with finicky fish that require a lot of specialized care in order to adapt well to life in captivity, and for aquarists who don’t know how to deal with these obstacles, it can get quite frustrating. While shipping stresses are often the leading cause of problems initially, it’s getting [...]
New Era Aquaculture to Release Smaller Mini MarineGrazer
We caught up with the gang at New Era Aquaculture while walking the vendor hall at MACNA, and in our conversations about their popular food products, we were told that the Mini MarineGrazer would be getting smaller companion. After getting feedback from end users, New Era decided that the current Mini MarineGrazer was just too [...]
New Marine Fish Pellets from Korallen Zucht
Korallen Zucht debuted a new product at Interzoo this year, but it’s not quite like the rest of the products in the lineup. Instead of being a coral food or an additive aimed at reducing nutrients, the new product is a pellet based fish food. Simply called the KZ Marine Fish Pellets, the product offers [...]
Hands On with Cobalt Aquatics Pro Breeder Flake Food
We were recently sent a small can of Cobalt Aquatics Pro Breeder Flake Food from our friends at Super Pet World, and we wanted to share our preliminary review of the food along with a little more information about the product line. For starters, Cobalt Aquatics is a relatively new company. They’ve been around for [...]
New Era Aquaculture Flake Foods…Our Fish Dig ‘em
A while back, we got our mitts on the full line of New Era Aquaculture fish food for an extensive product review. We received three different types of food (Aegis, Marine, and Algae), with each coming to us as both a flake and a pellet product. We spent the next several weeks feeding each of [...]
Feeding Live Blackworms to Marine Fish
When I first acquired the Rose Island Basslet (Pseudoplesiops rosae), my primary concern was feeding the fish since it disappeared into the rock structure and came out so infrequently. I tried numerous things to entice it out of hiding, but since the fish is already a notoriously shy species and there are more aggressive feeders [...]
The New Era MINI MarineGrazer an Attracitve Feeding Option
Over the weekend, we got some extensive playtime with a boxful of New Era fish foods. One of the products sent to us was the fairly new MINI MarineGrazer, a suction cup based feeding station for grazing fish like tangs and angelfish. We were quite intrigued with this feeding device, and given the unique way [...]
Playing with New Era Fish Food
Since our fish live in closed systems with limited exposure to things that naturally occur on the reef, providing them with the most nutritional source of food is paramount. Under typical circumstances, our fish need a wide variety of products to meet these needs, and the guys at Living Color Enterprises have some interesting new [...]
ReefPearls Now Available in Larger Size
A while back, we were shown a new coral feeding product called ReefPearls. The neutrally buoyant food is said to mimic plankton and be highly nutritional, as it contains micro-encapsulated particles that remain stable in the water column for up to 24 hours and do not leak nutrients back into the water. Originally only offered [...]
