food

So today i found a pond snail and immediately removed it. I then thought my fish might want to eat it so I cracked his shell and through him back in. The fish went nuts! Its seems that raising a colony of pond snails would be so easy. Do you guys think they would make a good staple diet?

i am getting 40 plants tommorow or the next day as they have been ordered of the internet they are stated as easy to grow as this is my first tank i dont no much about plants, i basically want to know if they will survive in my tank i am not cycling my tank as i have read dave spencers post and...

So I have 4 male guppies in my tank and I was thinking that I could get a few females which would then breed and have babies. I would leave them in the community tank to do this because I thought it would be a good way of providing live food for the other fish? So will this work and would the...

Hey guys,   I got two new cory trilineatus for my trilineatus/betta tank the other day. Both showed signs of stress, as can be expected, but right now I'm watching my original two and one of the new ones chowing down on a sinking shrimp pellet together. However, the other new one isn't fairing...

So this is my first time having complete responsibility for a fish, and I have a double-tailed betta named Bruce. The box his tank came in said to feed him three times a week, so I've been feeding him every other day. But I just got my grandpa a fish for Father's Day, and the feed bottle said to...

I have six red cherry shrimp that i just got a couple of days ago in a 10 gal strictly for the shrimp.  i have a fist sized clump of java moss in there and i was just wondering if that and some algae with some crushed up fish flakes every so often was enough or whether i should be feeding them...

I feed my fish an hr to 2 hrs b4 I change the water. How long do I wait b4 I feed them again? It's a tropical tank. I do 1/4 of the water and add Quick start to my bucket as I refill, 1/2 the amount per each 2 buckets. I add Stress Coat after that to the waterfalls stream from my filter for...

I recently set up a new tank with a freshwater indian pipefish. I'm raising brine shrimp for him right now but I'm not sure how often I should feed him. I'm hoping to train him to take freeze dried foods eventually but for the time being, how often should I add more live food to the tank?

I feed them a little bit of everything at the same time. Would it be better to stick with one brand ? I just think it's better with a variety. I have Zebra Danios, Platys and Neon Tetras.    http://gyazo.com/424ebea10720db1c4dcd9c6d6619b3be  <-----  (picture)   They all kill it instantly lol....

I recently acquire a pot of small tropical pellets, called Firstbite, link at bottom of post.  I thought these were great, especially for my Bettas as they are moist so I guess they do not need pre-soaking.  I find with some of the Bettas though they need to learn that the food now sinks and...

Okay, so I am curious what everyone feeds their bettas..treats...daily meals..etc     I am aware of the basic common foods: betta flakes freeze dried bloodworms daphnia brine shrimp     but what does everyone feed their betta and what is okay for a betta to eat? Aside that I do know you can feed...

Hi everyone,   I've recently realized that my current food that I am feeding my 2 fancy goldfish is not suitable, containing Sorbitol and chicken by products.  I'm going to switch to a more natural, high quality fish food.  What foods would you recommend?

Hi everyone,   I own 2 fancy goldfish and ever since I had them I have been feeding them natural foods, mainly from the Top Fin brand.  I am aware that Top Fin is not a good fish food brand, but I noticed that when I read the label, the ingredients were natural (shrimp, algae, etc.)  My fish...

Hi all,     My 10gal cycled last week and it appears to be doing well so I need some help with my stocking choices.  I've read a bunch of great threads on here for ideas but want to pinpoint any problem areas.   I currently have 2 Honey Gouramis, 1 male and 1 female.   I was planning on adding...

I recently added a green Cory cat to my tank, and so far he is doing great! I bought some API Algae wafers, (because I also added an Albino Bristlenose Pleco) as well as some Omega One Shrimp pellets. So far I have only seen the cory nibble at the algae wafers, and eat a little leftover flake...

Hello, First of all i wanted to ask about bichir. Im kinda new about this thing. I just want to how much time should i feed eat per day. Also, the best food for bichir and btw i dont know about my bichir type. So if anyone have any experience in keeping a bichir, let me know it. Thanks guy :-)

I bought a neon blue goby from Jack's Aquarium about a month ago. Hearing these guys are herbivores I bought some green seaweed for him(did not like that the first ingredient in any algae wafers was fish meal...). I have yet to ever see him eat and it looks like he is getting thinner. Should I...

I defrost the fozen bloodworms in a yellow tub to give to my fish, and they always get so excited when they see the tub coming XD This is the first time I've fed them bloodworms since I got two new Pearl Gouramis, and I was surprised how brave the new girls were; one even swam into the tub to...
