Ok i used to feed flakes and then decided to go with pellets because my leopard wrasse only ate pellets, after a while all my fish had switched to pellets so that was a nice bonus for me, plus less waste on my opinion. Currently i have instant ocean marine shrimp pellets that i feed once in a while but i use new lif spectrum sinking pellets as a daily feed. They seem to love them but i just ran out of those, looking to buy some more but was wondering if i should try something else that would be better than these. I have no problem with the ones i have been using but sometimes change is a good thing.

What are your opinions,
Has to be pellets, no flakes or frozen.
Thanks for ur input

I'm using the Neptune Crossover Diet pellets... I have an apex auto feeder...

They sink and float which I like... My tangs go for the stuff that float and my clown fish six line wrasse and chromie get the sinking stuff...

Plus supposedly it has a coral food coating on the pellets

I should have bought it when they had the 40% off Sale. I'm ok paying a little more though. It's just going to fattening Robert up

Ive heard good stuff about new era, and not that great stuff about omega one.

Im between new life spectrum which i currently use and know they will eat and new era .

For the price which is better and healthier?

Both are good. I buy multiple foods. Currently feeding NLS pellets, new era marine pellets, ocean nutrition flakes, mysis, krill, and of course wicked feast. Variety works best imo

I would definitely recommend the new era doughnut things. I used them to feed the tangs but almost all my other fish eat is as well, specially the leopard wrasses. I don't know how to add video

Yea I tried the pellets, not a big fan of them.
opposite experience from me. the fish love the pellets and will chase them to the sand and gobble them up. the disk, however, they pull off the peg, and then lose interest after it falls into the dirt.

I ended up getting the ocean nutrition formula one and two and they seem to be fine with them. I just mixed the two into a small container to keep variety going. I got not problem so far except that they do sink l
Pretty fast.
