Just out of curiosity,
i want to no what you feed your fish?

I feed my fish a mixture of
brineshrimp, bloodworms & garden peas twice daily
earthworms as a treat once a week
and crickets as a treat for my tetra's even though my pictus cats love'em to!!!!

My fish are always happy and healthy, but I would like to hear what you feed your fish.

Thanks.

I feed my neon/cardinal tetras flakes and blood warm. And on my other tank with severum they eat anything I throw at them.

flakes
beef heart
earth worms
mosquito larvae

freeze-dried krill
and anything else i can find

4 types of Flakes, Granules, frozen Daphnia, Live & frozen Brine Shrimp, frozen Bloodworms, Microworms, Algae Pellets & Cichlid Pellets.

This topic gets brought up every so often... and I can't find the last thread on it.

I've got bettas, cories, BN plec, black neons, guppies, cherry barb and shrimp.

I feed a variety of flake foods (including spirulina), freeze dried foods (blood worms, shrimp), sinking wafers and shrimp pellets for the cories, algae tab for the BN, various betta foods (flakes and pellets) and also frozen foods (brine shrimp, blood worms, etc). I've been known to throw fresh veggies in as well.

...I think I covered everything. I have one of those plastic drawer sets and one drawer is entirely dedicated to and filled with fish food.

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

I feed-
Monday:Flakes, plankton tablets, algae wafers
Tuesday: algae flakes, sinking tablets, algae wafers
Wednesday: flakes, plankton tablets, lettuce (or zuccini)
Thursday: freeze-dried tubifex worms, zuccini (or lettuce)
Friday: algae flakes, sinking tablets, algae wafers
Saturday: frozen or live brine shrimp and bloodworm
Sunday:algae flakes, plankton tablets, algae wafers

I feed a mixture of pellets, brine shrimp, flakes, algae wafers and cucumber for the catfish.

I've got bettas, guppies, plecs, bristlenoses, corys and sparkling gouramis. They all love love to eat whatever i throw in the tank.

I always have frozen bloodworms on hand as well as some other type of frozen food. Right now it's krill and glassworms.

The big tank (cichlids) get some sort of floating food first; pellets, sticks, sun dried baby shrimp.

I have two types of wafers and shrimp pellets for my bottom feeders.

Betta food of course.

Regular flake, spirulina flake, livebearer flake...a few containers of crubmbles for the larger fish. Freeze-dried bloodworms.

First Bites for the tiny fry. I have hard-boiled eggs in the fridge for my fry as well.

And the occasional broccoli, cucumber, zucchini, peas, etc.

Here is mine I have now included it in My Profile

Have a look in [link=My Profile]http://
www.fishprofiles.com/interactive/forums/profile.asp?userid=6741" style="COLOR: #00FF00[/link] for my tank info


MY FEEDING PROGRAM.
This is always done just after the tank light go on early in the morning
Other than the usual flakes, pellets and algae wafers, & frozen bloodworms three times a week there are many other also foods I use.
I mix and rotate the different types of sinking food each day when I do not feed them with the frozen Blood Worms.
The mixture is always Flakes, sinking pellets, and algae wafers broken up. With the Worms they also get the algae wafers broken up.

The different foods I use are many and varied, never at any specific time or day. All this started not long after viewing FP. I am always willing to try something different. I believe that is the reason why my fish are so healthy as they get a good variety of foods.
Heavy fishing line suspends the pear core & the fish frame. The tomato & the zucchini are held to a flat rock by an elastic band. Two small river pebbles hold down the lettuce leaf.

When feeding with the fish frame, pear core, and the lettuce I do not leave it too long, one hour at the most. I would only feed the fish frame the day before I do my 50 Lt weekly water change.
Once I found a tomato seed that had started to sprout in the internal filter I was using at the time.

Fish all fresh & uncooked
SW fish frame.
Various SW fish mashed
Prawns/Shrimp
Roe FW & SW

Meat
Raw lambs liver mashed very fine about 1/2 tea spoon.

Vegetables Cooked all mashed
Beans.
Broccoli
Carrot.
Celery.
Corn
Diced
Peas.
Spinach

Vegetables Raw
Lettuce.
Tomato.
Zucchini.

Fruit.
Pear core
Banana. Small pieces.

Yes, kitten this does seem to be a regular threadabout every 3 months or so

And I think my regular response iswhat don't I feed them

Let's see any and all veggies that I might enjoy, or not
crickets to my cichlids at the timeants or other small insects if I find them to the bettasdefrosted frozen blood worms, flakes, granules, shrimp pellets, algae tablets, fingers, oranges when I had my goldiesfresh brine shrimp, freeze dried Brine Shrimp, and whatever else I happen to have on hand, I sometimes do believe that my fishies eat better than I doheidi

Here are some of the previous threads I've found:

"I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." Thomas Carlyle

Morning: flakes or new life spectrum pellets
Throughout the day: bloodworms, brineshrimp, tubifex cubes, worms from the garden, or whatever I scoop out of the horses' stock tank.
Night: spirulina pellets, shrimp pellets, or algae wafers

Once a week I drop in veggies for the plecos. Usually leaf lettuce or cucumber but whatever else I decided to buy that week and my guinea pigs didn't like.
When the pond gets coated in duckweed I throw some of that in and sometimes I toss in algae that's collected on the glass over the powerhead or from the stock tank.

I feed my convicts, jack dempsey, and green severum
Guppies
Bloodworms
Flakes (staple)
crickets
bugs that fly into the tank

I feed my pleco
Vegetables
algae tablets

Flakes, bloodworms, tubifix worms (fish don't seem to care for those), algae wafers.
Tried the zucchini thing and it just melted in the tank, made a mess. Fish stayed away from it too.
tried lettuce but same, the fish shyed away from it.
I'd like to try some new things and am open to try them. A varied diet makes happy and healthy fish

When i had oscars, i used to scrape my leftovers off my plate straight into the tank and within 20 secs it was like i didn't even feed them lol...However when I was hungry and ate all my dinner i fed them crayfish, earth worms, bloodworm, tubifix worms and flakes..to my suprise!

Currently i feed my community fish Blood worm, flakes, algae tablets and brine shrimp hehe
