What kind of food?

[nataliedd]

Ok I've been reading some threads recently about a lot of the typical fish food being rubbish. Having read the ingredients in mine I would say mine come under that category! So can people recommend some brands (if thats allowed) of wafers and pellets that are good quality please? Also iv also read about certain fruit and veg that are occasionally good to feed so can I ask for some recommendations for this also?
To refresh memories my tank has mostly tetras and corys with a few guppies and a pleco.

Omega one is good, but if you want to spend a bit more, nls is the way to go.

Blanched zucchini and cucumber for the pleco.

I almost only feed frozen food. Bloodworms, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp

I take it that any veg left in tank i should remove after a short period?

I put a cube in every few days but the greedy ones on the top and middle always get it all so my corys and plec never get any. Do you have bottom dwellers and if so do they get share of the frozen cube?

I forget who said it but someone mentioned they use a PVC pipe and aim it at their bottom feeders then drop the food through there to allow it to reach the bottom.

I currently have 6 rummynose tetras and 12 kuhli loach. I just give more food than the rummynose can eat, the extra falls to the bottom and the loaches can eat it.

New life spectrum is the best IMO
