Which brands send free samples?

I use a few packets of Hikari foods, pellets and wafers.

Tetra fresh packets - daphnia, bloodworm and brine shrimp.

and have a different pots of flakes

The only ones who sent me some free samples were Jungle Laboratories and Tetra.

Hikari told me that it can't send me any samples due to anti-terrorism rules.

Do the anti-terrorism rules really exist?

ok.

Anyone will send me free samples himself?

I use
Aquarian flake
Wardley shrimp pellets
Wardley algae wafers
Hikari Bio Gold
Hikari cichlid pellets
and lots of veggies

If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

I use many different brands. The ingredients determines which food I buy. If one of the foods I use is high in something, then I make sure I have another food that's high in something else. All that matters is that the fish get a good balance of vitamins and other ingredients. The brand name means nothing.

Hikari will give you free samples of the products that apply to your fish. You have to give them a list of your fish, aquariums, and your current foods.

tetramin tropical

OK!
Thank you for your suggestions.

BUT WHICH BRANDS SEND FREE SAMPLES?

I used Nutrafin Max Color Enhancing for my Harlequins. They have a gorgeous orange and blue sheen to them. For my babies, my african cichlids, I use Plankton Gold flakes from Brine Shrimp Direct ( brineshrimpdirect.com ), FD Mysis Shrimp from them, HBH Super 8 Veggies Flakes, and Hikari Sinking wafers.

There is no best. The way I have been told to judge if a food is good is to check the main ingredients. They should not include binders such as flour or glutens and the likes. A lot of people say Omega One is a great general purpose food and a lot of people like New Life Spectrum for their africans. I use what I use because a friend of mine who has the best looking fish I've seen uses these foods. Ken's flake food is great too. www.kensfish.com . You can pick

i use tetramin, never had problems with it.

i use JBL and tetramin, i don't know if its the 'best' though...

Which is the BEST food though???
And tell give a reason why!!!

Omega One freshwater flakes, veggie flakes, veggie discs, and shrimp pellets

San Fran Bay freshwater multi pack ( bloodworms, brine shrimp, veggie cube - and bloodworm "sheet" where you break it off as you need it.

HBH - crab and lobster bites ( for my cherry shrimp)and African Cichlid "attack" sinking pellets (for a couple loaches because the only cichlids I have don't like it)

Tetra BettaMin for my male betta

Aquadine - freshwater mix- I like these because they sink, and in my heavily planted tank, food floating on top is ignored.

Jungle - antibacterial and antiparasite food

Marineland Bio-Blend and bottom feeder discs


I have a few others I think as well. For dry food, I think one of the best is Omega One though, because of 1) the fishes' response to it 2) the ingredients.

I got Hikari stuff. I don't currently use flakes, so I got no Tetramin. When I get some other surface feeders I might get some again...
