What Is Your Favourite Food? (For The Fish Haha)

[TenaciousG_]

My current fish flakes are running out and I would love to know what food everyone else uses. I also have frozen bloodworm that i put it a couple of times a week to add variety I just use Aquarian tropical flakes at the moment but I don't think the rummy nose tetras get enough because they school quite low down, i've heard tetramin is good? any help appreciated

Thanks

I use micro pellets, they float around for a while and sink through the water like it's snow. All my fish love them!

I use hakari micro pellets my fish love them. If you get these they tend to be cheaper on line, ebay etc

Tetra Pro Colour fish crisps appear to be the real favourite for my tetras.

I always mix and match foods, got to be boring living on the same old food all the time!!

Though in community tanks i *always* mix a flake and a micropellet so fish shoaling at different areas both get food.

The Tetra Pro range is fantastic, TetraPro Colour or Pro Energy as a general flake (though if tank has lots of livebearers id advise mixing in Pro Veg) and JBL GranoColour/GranoVert/GranoMix or Hikari Micropellets or Microwafers.

JMC High Protein Pellets are ok to mix in with flake too but i wouldnt use too much or too often, they arent great quality, realistically they are just a fine grade trout pellet repackaged lol however they do put weight on fish!

Other good pellet suppliers are New Life Spectrum and New Era but New Era wont be much good to tetras.

I use Aquarian and Zoomed flakes, Hikari and Aquarian pellets, Hikari, Aquarian and Topfin sinking wafers and finally for frozen, I use San Francisco bay brand bloodworms, bs, mysis and glass worms. I rotate thru the various brands as they run out, hoping to give them the best most varied diet possible.

Favorite food that is liked by all my adult fish and that is practical:
Tropical Flakes.

- Low cost
- Lasts a long time
- Fish love them
- Can be fed to fry and adults alike.
- Contain almost everything they need.

Cons:
- Dry food, may cause constipation
- Not entirely natural
- Smells like fish (though I like that smell... I'm tempted to eat them )

I change up. Basic diet is New Life Spectrum +Thera-A 1mm formula. I then randomley feed them Hikari Micro Pellets, San Francisco Bay Frozen Baby Brine Shrimp and Bloodworms, freeze-dried brine shrimp, boiled lettuce and zuchini, and the occasional tiny moth that fly around my house. Fish love 'em, but hard to catch with tweezer

feed jmc Pellets and a cheep flake nce twice a week and feed live foods almost every day .
there main diet is Daphnia .

Daphnia rinsed through net ready to be fed to fish, also among Daph- are plenty of mosquito larvae and glass worms.
