Am I the only person who doesn't use flakes as staple food? I use New Life Spectrum pelletes.

No, you're not the only one. I have some flake in the cupboard, but I hardly ever use it. I think it came with one of the tanks which means it's either fluvel or jewel brand I guess.

Our fishes get various floating and sinking pellets, tablets and wafers, fresh cougette, fresh cucumber, crushed frozen (thawed) peas, frozen bloodworm, krill and brineshrimp, jellied daphnia, jellied bloodworms, and live bloodworms, snails, earthworms, rivershrimp, daphnia, and brineshrimp.

I generally use aquarian, unless i get a package free and ill use that stuff till its gone, then switch back 2 aquarian. my fish go friggin crazy for the stuff

Where do you get these free packages?

I've always used Tetramin so far but bought a tub of Aquarian last night. I hope they like it as much as some of yours appear to as that is why I bought it

My LFS stocks Hikari algae wafers (which my fish love) but doesn't stock their flake - is it available in the UK???

I use Hikari flake foods for my Leopard Danio. My Glassfish, Mudskippers, Archers, Monos, Scats and Oscars always get live foods like crickets, woodlice, earthworms, bloodworms and of course the leftover lettuce. My upside-down catfish, chocolate gourami and kuhli loaches also get live foods but 3 times a week only, and the smaller types!

So far just TetraMin flakes and granules with some SF Bay brand freeze-dried brine shrimp.
