I'm leaving this friday at noon and won't be back until the monday after next. My roomate won't be leaving until tuesday though.

My question is, how long can my fish go without eating? is it safe to leave them for a week without food or do i need to find a way to feed them?

I just brought home a package of Omega One 100% natural dried seaweed. They had different varieties (red, green, and...black maybe?), and I chose green.

I tore off a little strip and clipped it in my veggie clip.

AND...

They couldn't care less. :NO2:

Has anyone fed this to their fishies before? It's supposed to be tasty for freshwater and saltwater fish. I put a little in each my tanks and no results. Not even from the mollies!

Is the red or black variety tastier? Am I feeding it incorrectly? Should I try it at night?

The Super color crumble-what tanks should that be fed to? I have tropical community, CA and SA cichlids, JD fry (just one), convict fry (just a couple hundred), guppy fry, bettas, goldfish, and african malawi mbuna. ]]> Fish Food bolivianbaby http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/fish-food/57467-kensfish-super-color-crumble.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/fish-food/57365-garlic.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:39:39 GMT I gave my fish garlic for the first time yesterday, and boy was it stinky!

I took a jar of minced garlic from my refrigerator, put a bit on a plate, added a little water and some freeze-dried bloodworms, waited a few minutes, and then dumped the whole mess into the tank.

Unfortunately, with the new, stronger filter (Fluval 305), it seems like many of the worms just got sucked into the filter. However, some of the chunks of garlic fell to the bottom of the tank and stayed there. This morning the chunks were gone.

So my questions:
1) Is there a better way to do this?
2) Is it okay that I fed the fish the chunks of garlic? Or is that bad for them?
3) How often should I feed them garlic?

And on a side note, I know the fish need some fiber. Right now, I am feeding them:
- Tetra color-enhancing flakes
- Tetra color-enhancing pellets (tiny pellets that sink to the bottom)
- Freeze-dried bloodworms (not too often, maybe once a week or so)
- Shrimp pellets that sink to the bottom

I can't do peas, and being a vegetarian, I have a strong preference not to do frozen food, as I don't want it in my freezer. If I add in algae wafers or spirulina flakes, will this help them not become constipated and keep their diet balanced? ]]> Fish Food mommybaby295 http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/fish-food/57365-garlic.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/fish-food/57328-overfeeding.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:26:58 GMT Everybody, I am about to fly out of town for a trip and I bought this automatic fish feeder and I set it up.

When it released, so much food got into the tank. I tried scooping out as much as I could but that didn't help. Now my fish are all bloated. My convict...his stomach is orange (the fish food color) and he looks like he's gonna bust! He's moving slow and the other fish are moving slow. Will they make it?

Also, I have a few questions-

Some foods that may seem unconventional can lead to a huge benefit to your tank.

Let me share some ideas.

Vitamin C tablets: "What?" You say. Indeed, one must take care as citric acid is just that, an acid, but the health benefits in some cases may outway the danger. Think of when you get sick, what you eat to help your immune system, now apply some of those foods to your fish. By breaking up a vitamin C tablet and adding a few pieces to the tank, my fish were quick to consume a vital nutrient not readily found in fish food. Another way to get your fish eating Vitamin C is to feed them tiny pieces of an orange or lemon. I know for a fact that some of my fish would be dead right now had I not fed them vitamin C in tablet form.

Earthworms: Natural is always better, I buy a can of 20 live bait nightcrawlers every few months and cut them up with scissors into tiny pieces. My goldfish are doing much better after adding this to their diet, my tropical fish love earthworms as well.

Nerds: This is a fun one, after bleaching the dye off the nerds candy, one can feed their fish a piece of candy from time to time. Turns out my crayfish has a real sweet tooth.


I'm sure others have some great oddball ideas as well, post away. ]]> Fish Food michaelb323 http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/fish-food/57020-some-unconventional-foods.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/fish-food/56952-live-blood-worms.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:23:48 GMT what's the best way to keep live blood worms....is it safe to keep in the fridge??? ]]> Fish Food raptorsvt79 http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/fish-food/56952-live-blood-worms.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/fish-food/56626-fresh-cought-shrimp-ok.html Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:18:49 GMT hi again all.

This is something that ive been wondering about for a while. I live right opposite a beach (I live in Wales, UK), If you go down to the rock pools when the tide has gone out there are normally loads of little shrimp and muscles in the rock pools.

Would these live shrimp be safe to feed my fish?

thanks in advance for any help
