what are my fish eating at night?

MatthewJ · 11-18-2008, 02:19 AM

I went down stairs right before bed to check on the tank. I'm always hoping to find something new. darn tank, keeping me up all hours

. anyhow, I noticed my clowns were not in there normal resting place. In fact, they were bouncing around the tank, apparently feeding. sure enough, it was basically snowing in the tank. I couldn't get a good look, they were really small and appeared mostly white. They didn't appear to be all round. Whatever they were, the clowns found them tasty. Any ideas what they could be eating? I'm not going to be able to sleep now, reef tanks are just so cool. even if this is bad for the tank, it's so cool see it happen.

Pods maybe?

Got any shrimp in the tank? Could be the spawn of a shrimp.

I'm guessing pods too - they usually come out more at night.
