I have some questions:
1:  Are PE mysis commonly sold at LFS's?  I buy mysis there, but, i'm not sure they are PE.  Also, how important is it to us PE?

2:  How often do you feed?  I do between 2-5 tmes a day. 

3:  What's the best way to get clowns to eat vegitables?  Also, is it impotant?

4:  Has anyone tried a gelatin food?  I was wondering how to administer it.  I grate seafood, but I think grated gelatin food sounds like a mess.

1. hard to say. PE = Piscene Energetics. Great Food - ask your LFS to carry it if they don't.

2. The more frequent, smaller feedings, the better. Many breeders also suggest one "saturation" feeding per day (feed little increments until the fish refuse any further food).

3. Incorporate it in mixed diets / pellet foods (i.e. you can certainly offer Formula 2 pellet foods).

4. Approximately 1/2 of Ocean Nutrition's frozen mixed foods have gel binders, and the other half of the product line doesn't. You could always just mince up the little frozen cube with a sharp knife.

FWIW,

Matt
