Fish food came in...

[emeraldking]

Today I've received a parcel with fish food in it. I've ordered some. Not too much, btw. I wanted to order it at a wholesaler in Germany but they had problems delivering abroad at the moment. So, I've ordered it somewhere else which provided me these fish food for wholesale price as well. I always oreder bulk packages.



This will hold for about a month in my case

Well, there's more than just this. This is just what I've ordered. But with over 80 tanks running with mostly livebearers in it, I need a lot of food for them.

Well, I've got different kinds of food. There are tablets, wafers, pellets, granulate and flake. But also dried food. Depending on the species what to use. I've got also different kinds of goodeids (also in size). Goodeids come as herbivores, omnivores and carnivores. But that goes also for a number of other livebearer species. Most of them are omnivores.

80 tanks wow!!!!!!

Sounds much but I know breeders that have more tanks than I do. But this number is doable to maintain on my own with my health condition.
I breed rare livebearers (both fancy and wild) and need a sufficient number of tanks to conserve the species. And I also breed own created strains of guppies and endler hybrid strains which will find their way to the commercial market at some point.
