bhcaaron

Eeeeeeeeeewwwww!

MrWaxhead

My fish would disagree hehe

bhcaaron

LoL, hopefully only THEY do! lol

So I was reading that variety in food types for each fish is required to maintain a healthy fish. Some illnesses and syndromes can occur due to lack of variety.

What variety do you provide? Can you be species specific? (ie for my xxx I feed him x and y and z)

lol i agree...eeewwww..... hey heres a question.... i feed my FW fish freezedried bloodworms, and on the bottle it says...."do not touch with hands and do not inhale any dust....." not that im stupid enough to do this but why does it say that? lol

bhcaaron

Ahahahahahaha... You KNOW I'd be the one going SNIFF SNIFF! ahahahahahahaha

I suppose there may be bacteria in it that you don't want growing in your sinus. I guess lol

I believe it has something to do with the way it is made. I've read that freeze-dried isn't real good for your fish since it is not processed very well, particularly lots of dust gets in the food. Whether it's true or not I"m not sure though I don't use it because I tried it once and my fish won't eat it.

For freshwater:
Every other day they get veggie flakes or tropical flakes and bloodworms once or twice a week for a treat.

For Saltwater:
Veggie flakes four days of the week, and three days of the week bloodworms.
