Brine Shrimp, Etc In Jelly....

[hollyp0p]

I was in a chain of 'The Range' yesterday and spotted a new variety of live food for fish I've not heard of, I think it was brine shrimp, maybe other stuff aswell, in a 'nutricious' jelly.....anybody any idea if this is good for bettas?

 

[nakomis90]

never heard of it
although should imagine it sounds bad...

I haven't heard much about it, and what I have heard, wasn't very good.

I hear it clouds up the water like nothing else

Why not try culturing him some live foods?

Blood worms, micro worms, BBS?

I bought some of those Tetra sachets, not frozen, bloodworm in a jelly. I think they're called "Delice" or something. My guppies go mad for it, but Mr Fantastic will only eat the worms (not the jelly) and only if I sit there wiggling it around for him in the water. So I tend to give it to him right before a water change so that the gunk floating around isn't a problem.

If you have no freezer at the mo I would say these are worth a try, but only if they're cheeeeeaaapp!!! Not worth spending more than a couple of quid if they're not going to get eaten.

Unless they're tasty ( and safe ) for a human to eat!

I got a package of Tetra Delice from a friend and my betta girls love it. If I put some on my finger they will jump an inch out of the water to bite it off. They go nuts for it. I can't find it in any stores tho. The girls love to chase live brine shrimp too. I have some pics of them at SuckyFish.

their called "Tetra Fresh Delica" and some of my fish like them..others will just spit it out

I regularly buy the Tetra fresh sachets and all my fish adore it except my Gourami. The Danios go beserk and rip blobs apart like frenzied sharks!

I only use one sachet once a week though to prevent fouling up the water.
