 | What food you recommend for Tropicals? |
Forever-mango   Fish Addict Posts: 611 Kudos: 586 Votes: 35 Registered: 01-Dec-2003   | I was wondering what foods you recommend for Tropicals. I currently have some cory cats, BNs, a betta and some imported Guppies. I currently feed them a mixture of tropical flakes and marine granules. But, I was thinking of replacing it with some Tetra's Colourbits. I have heard great comments about this product. What would you recommend? Regards Mango  |

The more variety you can offer the better nutrition they will get. Throw some live or frozen foods in there once and awhile and you will be all set. |

I alternate between frozen brine shrimp, frozen bloodworms, color enhancing pellets, flakes, and Aquadine, which are pellets you mix yourself at the LFS. I also have corys and a clown plec, which I feed Hikari sinking wafers. The pleco also loves the occasional cucumber snack, as would your BN. I cut it into round pieces then in half, stick a plant weight through it to weigh it down and add 2 once every week or two. Take out the remains the next morning Hope that helped. |
