What Should I Feed?

[Luketendo]

Ok I want to know what food I should put into a tank with:

6 Cherry Barbs
6 Silver Tip Tetras
6 Corys
2 Angelfish
3 Pearl Gouramis
1 Yo Yo Loach
1/2 Bristle Nose Plecos

I know courgette every 2/3 days for plecos, a cooked prawn every 2 weeks.

I have Flakes, Catfish Pellets and frozen bloodworm.

Also I have 6 Black Neons and 7 Black Phantoms in a different tank, would these be ok on flakes once a day and bloodworms 2/3 times a week.

In my opinion you have mostly covered it i think, green veg is also good for them especially alot of the cory catfish like a pea now and again

As for the tank with the neons in i have always fed my fish at least twice a day even if just a little each time

I like to feed mine a lot once.

They also expect it in the mornings, so there's no problem with dopey fish not realising food is about, i.e. my loach, he comes out and slims frantically in the morning even around the top, but later in the afternoon long after his feed he sits under his rock and guards it from other fish.

bristlenose should have a cucumber available most of the time, aswell as some bogwood for them to "chew" on.
try some pellets for midwatter fish and bottom feeders as i have those and the small fish that strugle to get there share just stay in the middle and the food quickly falls to them and they get a nice helping of food.
but you got the food planed out very well luke, dont forget sinking algae wafers are good for bristlenoses are they are an algae eating fish.....

note to self, must anoy luke at school , oops... did i just say that?

Yeah I just want to know if Pellets, Flakes and bloodworm is enough for the fish.

I have the bns sorted, courgette every 2 days, pellets when they find one, a prawn every couple of weeks.
