What Feed Do You Use The Most?

[TheRedDarren]

in my community tank i've realised that i feed frozen daphnia about 60% of the time, then i use flake 2nd and other frozen the least. what is your most common food for ya fish?

 

[jenny6165]

i guess i mostly use bloodworm, but it varies between bloodworm, daphnia, flake, veggies and the odd snail.

100% bloodworm for both my mixed community tanks, crushed (well bashed really!) flake for my dwarf rasbora tank.

I have livebearers and bristlenoses, so I tend to feed a lot more veggies. In fact, the platies, guppies and portholes in the main tank have pretty constant access to veg nicked off the bristlies. Oh well, it keeps them regular. Other than that, catfish tablets for the corys, occasional algae wafers for the bristlies, flakes for everyone else, and a twice-weekly treat of jellied bloodworm, daphnia or brine shrimp for all the communities.
The ticos are a different matter- they have proved awkward to get to eat. Atm they are living mainly off live daphnia and algae from the tank, but I am trying to partly wean them onto baby powdered flake food (they won't take anything larger).

I use flake with the odd live and frozen. But my guppies get a really fat chest if they have to much live. They tend to look very uncomfortable.

Flakes, granulates, pellets, sinking pellets, freezedried bloodworms. All at the same time. My fishies love the variety.

Flakes, frozen and live food. Algae wafers for my plecos and ottos and pellets for my catfish.

i use extra high vitamin flake in the morning, freeze-dried bloodworm in the afternoon, and frozen bloodworm at night. and i have a seperate 10g tank FULL of small pest snails that i feed my angels. (soft shelled snails only)

Tetra flake, tetra crisp, king british catfish pellets, frozen bloodworms and other frozen lavae, hikari algae wafers, hikari micro pellets and corgette. Loving the hikari stuff! My BN loves the algae wafers, he wouldnt eat the tetra wafers but he loves the hikari, even my gourami sometimes nibbles it, just got some cardinal tetras and they go crazy for the micro pellets. Gave them some live daphnia and bloodworm the other week and they loved that too, funny to watch the tetras try and eat daphnia that is like the same size or bigger than there mouth lol

I forgot to mention my fish love live brine shrimp! They swallow three at one time! I looked at a brine shrimp under a microscope and they are some odd little critters.

 

[Somethings Fishy Here]

I generally use tetra brand flake food with the occasional frozen brine shrimp. I have yet to have a fish that doesn't love brine shrimp!

 

[George Farmer]

Tetra Pro-Crisps most of the time.

It's the best dry food I've ever used for my fish (tetras mainly). Frozen brineshrimp (Omega-3 enriched) and frozen bloodworm as treats only (2x weekly). I believe there's not much nutrition in bloodworm alone.

Ditto on above. A mix of the Standard , Colour & Vegetable ones. All my fish absolute love it.

 

[shaz3271]

i use flake , algae wafers, mixed pellets and lots of frozen as a treat. i keep apple snails so there is always plenty of veggies for them.

i don't seem to be able to get live food from most the shops were i live, they say it comes with alsorts of bugs and deseases and wont stock it

Tetra Pro, bloodworm, prawn, cucumber, Sea monkys

Not to hijack but what in the way of fruit 'n'Veg do people use? I only ask because I put some melon in the other day, the Krib and Chinese algae eater loved it, I was wondering whether I should try other stuff, any big no nos?
