fish food

[lefty53]

just wondering what everyone else feed their fish. I use flake food, Frozen shrimp brine, Frozen blood worms, freeze dried tubiflex worms, freeze dried blood worms, algae wafers, and an occasional leaf of lettuce. I have tetras, angels, pleco, loaches, and algae eaters. Thanks for all that respond!

Sounds like you feed a varied diet. You could add zuchini and broccoli for the plecos.

 

[lefty53]

thought about that but how much of a mess is it?

 

[rich311k]

It is not a mess at all. Take the uneaten piece out after 24 hours.

 

[lefty53]

Thanks I will try it. Does it sink or do you have to weight it down?

 

[rich311k]

Weigh it down or get a veggie clip.

I wish I could afford to feed a diet so rich. I feed my community some omega one flakes...and during the summer I find them some live food in the yard. My mbunas do a little better. A staple of NLS with a fairly constant supply of zuccini with peas every other day.

I got about 20 different foods under my tank, as well as frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp in the freezer. It's good to have a variety. I also feed zucchini and peas on occasion too.

Remember, each type of food is ALREADY a "variety". The ingredient list has tons of different foods in it so I don't think you're cheating your fish any. The new life spectrum foods should be fed exclusively according to theirl website for example.

My 2 cents.

Omega ONE is almost as good as NLS. Don't worry

I have a huge selection of foods:

Hikari gold cichlid pellets for my oscar
Hikari algae wafers for bottom feeders
Wardley's algae wafers for bottom feeders (contain much more actual algae than hikari)
freeze dried blood worms
freeze dried tubifex worms
hikari flakes
Omega One flakes
Hikari small cichlid pellets
several other assorted foods I can't remember. . .

I know I may over-do it, but I like to offer a wide variety and I have a wide variety of fish.
