Mixing different types of food

[coalcut]

Rather than feed my fish flakes on one day, then pellets the next day, then brine shrimp on another day, etc. Is it ok the simply take a large container and mix flakes and pellets, and what ever else you choose, then feed them the cocktail daily?

Thanks

Can't see it doing any harm. I rotate my food but I don't mix it. It's also a good idea to not feed them one or two days a week.....

I feed flakes and pellets at the same time. I wouldn't mix them all in one container. You may end up with all the pellets at the bottom or something like that.

I use these containers:



I fill them with the different types/sizes of pellets and wafers I feed, and because they all screw together, I only have to carry the one thing from tank to tank.
I don't like to mix it all together because some fish have different requirements- they may need to eat more, or eat first, be fed last, away from the others etc.
