food

hey guys long story short i couldn't get hold of live food or frozen (due to parental objections to it) food and so now i make gelatine fish food as a supplementary food and was wondering what i could add to this at the moment i make a omnivorous one (shrimp,peas and cucumber) and a veggie...

Hey guys,  As some of you may know one of my African Dwarf Frogs died a few weeks ago, he got kinda bloated looking one night and then the next day he was gone. I'm not sure why that happened as my other frog and my betta are both fine. (more info...

Hi everyone, I bought my first betta today, he is in his own tank with live plants and cycled filter etc. I have read through the very good articles on betta here but he only thing I'm not sure on is the suitability of the pellets I have. Link below...

I have had guppy fry for two months now and they are 1 quarter of the size of a fully grown guppy is there any way of speeding up growth.  Ohh and when can i add the to my comunity tank.

Tank 1    100L :  6 glowlight tetras, 4 guppies, 4 red eye tetras, 2 golden balloon rams, 2 penguin tetras and one Melanistius Corydoras ohhh and one snail   Tank 2     40L :  10 Guppies   What vegetables can I put in both tanks and how should I prepare them. Thanks Alexander

I have recently started building up a fish tank and I now have 4 guppies, 5 tiger barbs, 1 angel fish and 1 discus. As a treat I'd like to feed them frozen blood worms, would one full cube be too much for them? How much of the cube would be appropriate to feed them, also how many times in a day...

Hi all I recently got some corydoras (trilineatus) but Im having some trouble feeding them. I've got some sinking food that they really like and while I think they are getting enouh to survive my greedy harlequins are eating so much of it they're getting really swollen stomachs and I'm worried...

Thought some members might find this amusing An amano shrimp was hanging on for dear life to a pellet meant for the platies. One of the platies clearly took exception to this and the result is this photo Add your own amusing conversation - mine goes like this: Platy: Oi matey I believe that's...

I currently have 2 tanks: 1x30L with a male betta, an assassin snail and 3 amano shrimp 1x60L with platy population, 2 assassin snails and 4 amano shrimp. I got the assassins to clear up an influx of hitchhiker common snails. They seem to have got rid of those and I was concerned that they had...

hi all so i was wondering what you guys do to prepare veggies before giving them to your fish? was interested in trying each method to see if that changes the way that they eat. so all opinions welcome thanks in advance. edit: could somebody move this to tropical questions please put in...

So I've gotten this fishfood about two weeks ago, and I just wanted to share my experiences with it. I bought the Hikari bio gold+ for cichlids (they have it in other varieties too) primarily to feed my severum, electric blue jack Dempsey and my geophagus.   I'll give the bad news first: The...

My question is i need a fish to eat all the waste my fish make and it not being picked on. I have 2 baby oscars around 3.5 inches and a baby senegal bichir around 4 inches and 1 bala shark around 4 inches. They eat alot pellets and make a huge mess of them and spit parts of it out and makes a...

Hi does anyone here have a good idea of how much earthworms can be given to new world cichlids? I know that bloodworms should be fed in moderation because they can cause constipation and such, but what about red wriggler worms? I feed them live or newly chopped up. Below are my cichlids and...

i have 2 peppered catfish, 1 blue ram and a gourami (long story cut short I ended up with the gourami that my sister bought because her corys were aggressive to him), with the algae wafers, I have some that are made by tetra and in a yellow packet dont know if you know them. Do I need to break...

I have two plecos, a "common" (P. Pardalis) and a gold nugget.  I try to feed all my fish a variety of different foods, so I'm interested to know what all you guys have had success feeding your plecos.   I have a long light cycle to encourage algae growth in the tank.  Apart from that, I feed...

Shrimp and spinach sinkers 16-20 small shrimp 1/2 cup blanched spinach 1 sm section of garlic (pierced for juice) 1/2 crushed multivitamin 2 packets of unflavored gelatin Corys, danios and glass shrimp love it! http://youtu.be/SHLo5R-8-BY

So I have a tank with two not-yet-full-grown angelfish, a goldfish, 6 neon tetras, a bottom feeder and a snail. How much should I be feeding them everyday? I'm just not sure. 

My betta lives with 8 pygmy corys in a cycled 12 gallon tank.   The cory I got just a few days ago. They are all getting along fine with each other which is a relief.   Anyway, I am trying to work out what/how to feed them, without overfeeding my gluttonous betta, who is currently bumbling...

So at the moment i have pygmy corys and a betta in a 10 gal and they both have their own food specifically for them.  When i get my other 10 gal tank cycled (which should be in about a week and a half) i will be putting endlers in there.  So what i was wondering is what kind of food i should get...
