Fish Foods

[peacock eel 12345]

I use Tetramin Flakes, Live earthworms intended for senegal bichir and peacock eel but bala shark gets a few, and live earthworms.  What a large list squeek.

I feed mine nothing but New Life Spectrum Thera-a formula.  Great ingredients like Krill and Herring are the two top ingredients.  My fish love it and the Thera-a is my prerference because it has garlic in it to keep them healthy against parasites and also it has a higher protein content then the normal formulas too which is great.

I have had a tank for a year, but am just now starting to really get into it.  Is it better to feed your fish a variety of things?  All I have been feeding mine are the tetramin flakes. 

[Morgrid]

Yes, a variety is much better. Think of it as if it were you eating, you would get pretty board with the same food every day.

Omega One Tropical flakes multiple times a day and Veggie flakes once a day. I also give my fish Frozen, Freeze dried, and live foods 3-6 days a week (very little though, we don't want our fish to get so fat they can't swim to the top to eat). The frequency of the live, frozen and freeze dried feedings depends on whether I am conditioning my fish or not and whether I feel giving them something special that day.

I recently tried Omega One flakes and my fish turned their collective noses at the stuff.
They just did not want it.

Tetra color flakes seems to be the best but recently I bought some
Aqueon color flakes and they love that stuff also. 

I bought the Aqueon because it had a wider mouth on the jar.  Easier to get my fingers in
there and keep me from ending up with "micro" flakes. 

I also use freeze dried bloodworms everyday.  My Congo tetras and Bleeding hearts
love the studd.  I feed the flakes in the morning and then flakes and bloodworms at night.

I also used freeze dried daphne.  All the fish go bonkers over that as well. 

Kind of surrised with the Omega One.  All the hype and I bought it and the fish just did
not take to it.

My large Congo Tetras do well on flake food.  I have raised them from
juveniles [<1 inch] to their present size of 5 inch males and 3.5 inch females.

I have been using tetra color flakes.  I also give them frozen brine shrimp and
freeze dried bloodworms and daphne.  I give the flakes in the morning and either brine
shrimp or bloodworms along with flakes in the evening.

I have started using Aqueon color flakes as well.  Both the Aqueon and the
Tetra flakes are well accepted by all the tetras I have.  Congos, neons, glolites
and black skirt. 

I have tried other flake foods and they seem to prefer the tetra or aqueon
the best.

I have not yet tried Krill which will be readily accepted by my
congos but I am afrid that if they go to the bottom they will rot and possible
cause me problems.  The krill seems a little large and if missed by the congos the
other tetras may not be ableto feed on it.

If anyone has experience using krill for smaller fish let me know please.

[Tropical Dude]

I use the whole freeze dried krill. I will usually throw in one whole piece and let the fish pick at it (I think my fish should work for their food every now and then) and then I will crumble the krill into smaller pieces so my smaller fish will get to eat a decent amount too.

Big fish-Hikari floating carnivore, Hikari cichlid staple, Hikari massivore, Aquarian shrimp pellets, Hikari algae disks, Hikari sinking cichlid

And all the fish are fed fresh seafood and my own mix of frozen food recipe.
