Is varied foods good for you fish?

[TropicalDude86]

Ok you guys/gals have proably heard this many times but what foods are best for these foods..

Swordtails,Guppies,blackwidows,mollies,platies,phantom,corries..


I have been feeding them all flakes but some don't seem to like the flakes as much an right now i am using the omega one brand which i don't like so much cause my fish don't seem to like it much well atleast i am almost out of it i most likley will get tetra thats what i used to feed em before i ran out of em along time ago. well also i feed em dried bloodwormsm,and dried daphnea..

any froozen foods just make sure you pick foods with a suitable size, also your usually live foods use a variation of processed foods, things like sinking/catfish pellets, algae wafers, find a high protein food aswell like JMC high protein granules.

My livebearers love freeze dried blood worms and spirula flakes as well.

feed them some frozen blood worms at least once a week and your fish will look really healthy, plus don't cheap out on foods, I find that the expensive once actually will make your fish look healthier and more colorful than using the cheap once....JUST my Opinion....

Shrimp pellets will make your cory happy.

Shrimp pellets will make your cory happy.

That used to be the case, but Wardley changed their recipe. Now they contain a large proportion of ground wheat, which the corys won't eat. It will only feed bacteria and cause problems. The total crude protien content is only 30% which IMHO is a total waste of time. I haven't been able to find another brand that is satisfactory either.

Your fish, corys included, would just love a meal of live blackworms or tubifex worms, from time to time.

Thanks..for the info

Your corys would like algae wafers and catfish pelets, there's also freeze dried bloodworms/tubifex/daphinia readily available at most lfs's.

Can't go wrong with frozen bloodworm, bring shrimp, or baby brine shrimp.

Your fish will thank you for it.

Might as well post my question here instead of making a new topic. What other foods can Tetras and guppies eat? Besides flakes?

 

[Torrean]

What do you guys recommend feeding a pictus catfish? I think he was eating algae wafers that we put in for pleco but pleco has died. Should I keep putting in the algae disks? I've never seen him eat anything, but he's getting big and fat.

 

[TropicalDude86]

If he is getting bigger an fatter then he is eating alright he's eating for sure you just don't see it

I have used frozen brine shrimp, daphnia and tubiflex but I hate how the tubiflex look in the water. It looks like trash and the fish don't seem to see them very well. The go wild for the brine shrimp and daphnia though. I haven't tried bloodworms other than some freeze dried ones. Fish didn't seem to care for those.
