● Freeze-drying food preserves almost as much nutritional
value as freezing food. Ocean ReeFlections offers foods with many varieties for
marine fishes.
● Flake foods tend be a mixture of different foods rather
than a single food. Ocean ReeFlections offers the Ocean Star INT. (O.S.I.) line
of flake foods, with varieties for saltwater fishes. The sera line of flake
foods are a blend of high quality flake and freeze dried foods for Marine
fishes.
● Pellet food appeals to certain varieties of carnivores
because the shape better mimics the qualities of live food than either flake or
freeze-dried foods. Ocean Star offers Marine Pellets.
● The closest to a Natural Food offered by Ocean ReeFlections
are the Julian Sprung's Sea Veggies. These seaweed products have been
freeze-dried, but they have undergone less processing than other freeze-dried
foods. Vegetarian fishes, such as tangs, angle fishes and certain damselfishes
and blennies love dried seaweed.
● An excellent choice for your soft and stony corals,
anenomes, feather duster worms, clams, sponges, tunicates and other filter
feeders is Marine Snow.
● Freeze-dried foods can be fortified with Selcon, a highly
unsaturated fatty acid that includes stabilized vitamin C and vitamin B12.
Other excellent supplements are Boyd's Vita-Chem Marine.
● Feed your fish a wide variety of foods. As with humans this
will help to insure they get the range of required nutrients.
● Freeze-dried and flake foods should not be the staple diet
of marine fish, but should be used to supplement fresh and frozen foods.
● Opened flake food may lose food value or even develop mold
or bacterial growth. Only purchase food in quantities that can be consumed
within a couple months. Store food in the refrigerator
