Default Feed Your Ricordia



Well just thought I'd share some insight I've learned having Ricordia for a couple months now. Feed them! Especially if you have a coral only/no fish tank like me...

I noticed mine starting to shrink so I have started feeding them a meaty mulch of Formula 1. They seem to like it a lot and are beginning to fill out.

I also hear they like bits of silversides. FYI!

I feed my tank mysis daily and add cyclopeze with Zoe vitamins every few days. Food is also available when I clean the glass of course. My Ricordia as well as all the mushrooms are fine with no special or target feeding.

Matt, I started target feeding my ricordia with silversides and it is about to split. My ricordia are the exact same color as yours.

&&Right now I'm in the middle of a conversion from reef to Discus/ planted aquarium. Hair algae beat me down. Maybe a nano in the future. Everything screwed up so I'm converting to FOWLR. Wish me luck.
