keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	Is there much difference in the benifits of feeding one or the other? Should I rotate or mix them when feeding? *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

It basicly seid the the fats and ammino acids in the meaty foods. Beef heart had the the greatest value. IMO it important to just add a nice mix of different foods will make a healther fish, and healther fish needs less problems and better coloration. I'm sure you know that it impotrant to thaw the froozen food and to rehydrate freeze dry foods, completely before feeding your fish with these tyoe of foods Djrichie "So Long, and Thanks For All The Fish" Douglas Adams

I'm interested in the way they've done it to come to that conclusion about mammalian organ meat, it always seemed out of balance in a fish diet so it would be good to find out anything new . Mix 'em up Keith. Rotate or mix on the day, whichever your fish prefer Bloodworms are a good conditioning food and do wonders for building muscle, brine shrimp have those brilliant shells that add a bit to the colour and seem to be nice and easy on the gut.
