What kind of food do you feed your fish?

What kind of food do you feed your fish?

 

My bloodworms are buried in my freezer somewhere, I’m getting more next weekk

 

Omega One super color Cichlid Flakes & sinking Pellets.Tetra Cichlid floating Pellets & New Life Spectrum Thera +A.

 

Live: BBS daily, daphnia daily, mosquito larvae seasonally. Frozen: mysis, blood worm, spirulina brine daily. Flake: BSD cool mysis occasionally.

 

Homemade frozen food is the staple for my fish and shrimp. Fish are supplemented with store bought frozen foods - brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, mosquito larvae and blood worms. Also freeze dried black worms and sinking pellets. Shrimp are supplemented with pellets, vegetables and dried leaves.

 

Home-made food is not only a lot cheaper than store-bought fish food, it makes a huge difference to the health and well-being of your fish.

I agree. I still like to supplement it with some dry pellets/flakes just in case my homemade mix is lacking in any essential vitamins or minerals. I don't know if it would be. Others add vitamin C or multi-vitamins to their mix.

 

I feed frozen brine shrimp, frozen rotifiers, live black worms, and occasionally when I’m lazy some flake food
Oh and cucumber/algea wafers for my bristlenose

 

My upper level fish get a staple of king British flakes, hikari vibra bites and hikari micro pellets. Occasional treat of frozen brine shrimp.

Plecs and corys get NT labs catfish pellets and NT labs wafers. Occasional bit of cucumber for plecs.

All my fish got some mosquito larvae this summer as I set up a clean tub in the garden and encouraged them. They loved those!

 

I prefer frozen brine shrimp, daphnia and krill pacifica as frozen foods. Most of my frozen food is from Omega One.

 

Dry foods on the go at the minute include hikari micro pellets, tetramin flakes, fluval bug bites spirulina flakes and some vegetable flakes.

In the freezer I’ve got mysis, black and white mosquito, bloodworm, daphnia, krill, brine shrimp and a cichlid mix including gammarus, spinach, brine shrimp, beefheart and fish meat. Yummy.

 

Live: BBS at least 3-4 times a week. White Mosquito Larvae and Daphnia whenever possible.

Frozen: Artemia, Daphnia and Cyclops. 1-2 times a week in case I have no live food.

Freezedried: Tubifex once in a while

Dried: premium pellets from a certain store brand that's only available here and Bug Bites. both maybe once a week or when I just happen to not have the time for any of the other options.

I also add a drop or two of a multivitamin liquid to every other portion I feed.

 

All kinds of things. Typically have 6-7 kinds of pellets and flakes from wholesalers that I rotate. (And so I don't have names for them.) Plus sinking tablets (tetramin or algae pellets).

Have frozen brine shrimp, bloodworms, and other larvae.

Microworm cultures as long as I can keep up, for babies and small fish. Decapped baby brine shrimp (seem to have gone out of fashion), frozen BBS. Nobody in may tanks seem to like frozen cyclops (I liked as a medium size frozen food but...)

Pretty much every kind of vegetable, blanched or steamed and frozen for my plecos. (Rarely I give them fruits as well.)

Occasionally I make food myself, using seafood, earthworms, vitamins, garlic, etc. in a blender. The last batch had too much anchovies in it, only the minnows seem to like it, my cichlids seem to eat it to curb their hunger

 

Currently only Omega One freshwater fish flakes, From what I've seen here locally frozen is quite expensive, But I am looking into a vinegar eel culture, as I found a starter kit locally for $5.
