Fish Diet Question

[sussexgirl]

I've heard alot on these forums about feeding veg to your fish. You can see from my signature what I have in my tank. I'm currently feeding Tetra Flakes and a couple of catfish pellets for my Corys in addition to that. I've put in weekly bags of live food (shrimp) and they loved that. Can anyone tell me what other foods my fish would benefit from to get a varied diet please?

You have a number of very small fish who need quite small food. I use frozen daphnia and frozen fish eggs which would be fine in addition to your flakes and live food. Some people have talked about using freeze dried foods as well but I havnt seen them at my LFS B4 or I havnt looked properly. I tried chopping up cooked peas for a bit but couldnt get them small enough and no bugger seemed to eat them either. I also don't feed for one day a week and let them scavenge their own food for the day.

Thats what i do, Not feed them for a day, this way they can help tidy there "house" up by eaten un eaten food and algea- win win.
