Omega One is what I use.
I look for stuff that is made from whole ingredients, not just the waste parts (which is what most of the common brands, like Tetra, are made out of).

Oh, and I also use Hikari for their slow-sinking crisps. I can't get any OmegaOne stuff around here that works for my community tank.

The best all around flake food I have found is Omega One's color or freshwater flakes. They use the whole fish(instead of fish meal) in their foods. I have been told by a reliable source that the salmon skins they add are what helps enhance your fishes color.
I also like their veggie flakes.

Wardley's stuff is .
I use a mix of all kinds here. Nutra Fin spirulina and color enhancing flakes, OMEGA ONE betta pellets, Kensfish.com and assorted frozens food are in the freezer.
The more variety of food a fish has the healthier they will be.

I bought my first bottle of omega one the other day. I really didn't search for any info on here for it. I just read the indgredients. Of all the bottles I read, the Omega One seemed to be the most natural.

Nothing but New Life Spectrum here. Of course they make pellets and not flakes, but i still think its the best out there.

After reading their ingredients, I'm planning on switching to Omega One foods once my Tetra Min flakes are all gone.

Remember though, no matter how good your flake food is every fish needs varitey so add some fresh and frozen stuff into their routine too.

dancerhas, good, after I read the ingredients on the tetra I really didn't like the fact that it had dyes in it. plus all thaat crud is not good for the fish and water. tetra makes their flake food seem so healthful and well rounded, well it ain't consumer beware

I have been using Omega One for almost a year now. I noticed a big change in the color of my fish after switching from the tetra brand flakes. I also give my fish freeze dried blood worms, river shimp and brine shrimp as treats a few times a week. Maybe one day a month I feed them live brine shrimp. They really like that stuff too.

I just bought some of the OSI brand for angelfish about a week ago and they liked it I was surprised. Because they are very picky but the women at the pet store said it was made especially for angelfish. That is cool now I have two good foods that they will eat.

I use Omega 1 as well. I like the ingredients they use. OSI is great as well I especially like their half float half sink pellets with spiriluna, algae meal and garlic.

^That does sound really good. Maybe I'll pick some up for the future mid-tank fish.
