Live Foods

[tropicalfish16]

I read a lot that fish need live food. I never understood exactly what this meant or where to get it. Does anyone know?

I have
-1 Platy
-1 Swordtail
-1 clown loach
-2 cories
-2 guppies
-1 zebra danio

Are there any specific live foods that those fish like?

Most that you own will take Blood Worms, Daphnia, Brine shrimp etc, it's available online or from your LFS, they come in little bags and it's not expensive, discard the water that the live food comes in however.

Alternatively you can culture your own, some quite easily.
I have written a lot of material on these subjects and a little trawling through the killifish section will un-earth all you need to know
