Feeding Angelfish

[leafs]

At the moment I feed my Angelfish pellets daily, frozen Brine shrimp or blood worms once a week. My lfs feeds they're Angelfish brine shrimp everyday. Should I feed more frozen foods or just keep feeding them they way I have? Also, would freeze dried brine shrimp be acceptable to feed daily? I've had a breeding pair for 2 years now and they seem very healthy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Freeze dried foods supposed to contain less nutrition than frozen, so I would avoid freeze dried foods. I would feed the angel more a variet of foods and alternate the foods. Like this...

Sunday
Morning: Fish Flakes
Evening: Frozen bloodworms

Monday
Morning: Fish Flakes
Evening: Frozen Brine Shrimp

Tuesday
Morning: Fish Flakes
Evening: Shrimp Pellets

Wednesday
Morning: Fish Flakes
Evening: Frozen bloodworms

Thursday
Morning: Fish Flakes
Evening: Frozen Brine Shrimp

Friday
Morning: Fish Flakes
Evening: Shrimp Pellets

Saturday
SKIP


You can add more foods if you like. The bigger the variety, the better. Fish flakes usually contain a little more vitamins that other foods, but the frozen foods contain more protein. Skipping a day helps the fish settle it's system. Also try to feed vegetables, such as zuchini or frozen peas (skinned).

I feed mine a big variety here what I use:

Discus delights (frozen food)
High quality flakes
TetraMin tropical granules
ColorBits tropical granuels
TetraMin tropical tablets
MicroCrabs cyclop-eeze granules
TetraCichlid mini granules
sinking brine shrimp pellets
Hikari free dried brine shrimp

And I have a little brine shrimp hatchery that has been set up for a day.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I guess the most important thing is variety.
