Hey everyone! I just started my first "TRUE" brackish tank! In my 90gal, I have
3 silver scats, 2 green scats, 1 red scat, 2 knight gobies, and 2 Argentinus monos....they are all just around the 1-2" size....

I started feeding them FORMULA 2, which is what the guy at the LFS reccomended, and some basic flake food I already have....

My questions are:
1. should I feed a marine flake food?
2. should I use a vitamin supplement and what kinds are availble?
3. are ZOECON & ZOE MARINE (by kent) suitable supplements?

Thanks for taking the time to help!

Jen ;)

i feed formula 2 pellet to all of my fish
very healthy!
i even feed it to my fw fish including 1 small ray
i don't like the flake though. look into the formula 2 pellet
if your lfs has the flake they can get the pellet*alot better buy too*
WHERE did you get a ruby scat, i've been looking along time for those :(
zoe is a really good supplement :thumbsup:

I have had a really hard time finding the ruby scat too...We were at our LFS "HOFFER'S TROPIC LIFE PETS" and low and behold...There it was...All by its lonesome, I could not pass it up! They only had the 1, but it looks great with the silvers and greens I got! Thanks for the info on the food, I will be picking up some of the ZOECON, its for fresh & salt water fish, and it said something about growth on it..I want my new babies to get big and be really healthy!

(As soon as I am able too, I will be posting pics! Also, I should get my Blk Aro back before christmas...I am really excited! The taxidermist is really great, and he is getting me involved in the process!!!)

I think it was $8.99...But I think the guy that was helping me ripped me off! They had a sign for the green scats 3 @ $18.99 but by themselves they were only $7.99...I asked if I could get the $18.99 price for the 3 scats I was buying, and he said no...they have to all be green, there was also no price for the ruby scat, so I think he just pulled it out of his ass! I am going back in there to talk to Joe...He is the manager of the fish room, and a friend of mine, he was not working at the time...I guess thats what I get when he's not there! He always get me good prices....
