Can anyone compare different brands of the same fish foods?

[gu2high]

I find the Wardley Shrimp Pellets is not very attractive to my fishes, although it maybe the cheapest one.

I wish people here can list/compare different brands of the same fish foods from your general experiences, but not based on price or fish types.

I list my experiences first:

Freeze-dried Bloodworm: Hikari is very good, my fishes like the treat. I have Omega One too, but havn't tried it yet.

Freeze-dried Brine Shrimp: Hikari, good.

Freeze-dried Krill: haven't tried.

Algae Wafers: I use Hikari, it is ok.

Shrimp Pellet: Wardley but my fishes don't like it very much. Does that mean fishes do not like Shrimp Pellets or just because it is Wardley?

Tablets: TetraMin, it is ok for bottom feeders.

Micro Pellets: Hikari, it is ok.

Fancy Guppy: Hikari, it is smaller than Micro Pellets, I wonder it is for guppy fry.

First Bite: Hikari, it is ok. But I prefer to mix different fish foods by myself and grind them to powder to feed fry.

Freeze-dried Tubifex Worms: Wardley, it is ok.

Tropical Granules: TetraMin, it is good.

Cichlid Pellet: Hikari Gold Mini, good.

Flake: Tetra, it is ok.

There already is a section for Food Reviews. It's difficult to review foods because not all fish are the same. Some fish like some foods whereas others don't. My Africans LOVE NLS so I feed it exclusively. My brother has a few Africans in his 55 who won't touch the stuff.

My fish get a mixture of foods and I alternate between 4 different kinds.

Ocean Nutrition Formula One-My fish love! Something about it gets them going.

Tetra TetraMin Tropical Flakes- The fish also like this stuff.

Tetra Cycolpeeze Granules-Again, they love this stuff. Cyclopeeze is a good food and supposedly enhances their color alot.

Tropical Crisps, I think from Tetra as well. The fish like this too.

I also feed Wardley shrimp pellets and the fish love them.

Wardley Tubifex Worms-I feed about once a week. The fish are sorta hit or miss whether they like these or not. Sometimes they do, somethings they don't.

Hikari algae wafers.

Hikari small fish food pellets, don't really use these anymore..

I also occasionally feed Frozen Brine or Frozen Bloodworms to them, but the only fish that ever get it are the angelfish. The other fish don't seem to know what to do with it. The fish also occasionally get fresh veggies.

The food review section is great.
