What food for Lemon Tetras?

[NoNitrates]

Yesterday when I got them I fed everyone frozen Spirulina Brine Shrimp and they loved it. Tonight I went with the Aqueon Color Enhancing Tropical Flakes and they wouldn't eat-kept spitting it out. The Lemons decided they wanted the Shrimp Pellets I feed to the Corys. What can I buy for daily feedings? I give the Brine Shrimp as an occasional treat.

those color enhancing flakes are crap, go with omega one or new life spectrum

+1 for nls flakes. Frozen daphnia, bloodworms, brine shimp.

I've never used the color enhancing, but any of the omega one and NLS have much better ingredients than aqueon or tetramin brand fish food. you get what you pay for with those cheap foods imo

I use Ocean Nutrition Formula-#1 and Shrimp flakes seem to ge the tetras attention. Some live baby brine shrimp will make them freak out and act like pigs.
