chapman76![]() Hobbyist Posts: 91 Kudos: 68 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Apr-2004 ![]() | [vote]other..[/vote] Well, I wasn't sure what to put. Nutrafin Color for my apisto tank and Bio-Blend small cichlids pellets and Bio-Blend bottom feeder wafers and also some LFS brand spirulia flakes. For my african tank I use Plankton Gold from Brine Shrimp Direct, spirulina flakes, and Hikari Gold pellets. I also supplement each tank with zucchini, cucumber, and lettuce leaves. Oh yeah, I also use frozen bloodworms, frozen brine shrimp, and a frozen community mix made by San Francisco Bay. Yeah, about covers it.

ricksta_nz![]() Small Fry Posts: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 24-Apr-2003 ![]() | [vote]Tetramin staple[/vote] I usually rotate my flake around between TetraMin, Wardley and JBL each time i buy to give the fish some variety. But for the last while have been sticking to TetraMin. |

jake![]() ![]() Fish Addict Posts: 594 Kudos: 875 Votes: 2 Registered: 21-Mar-2004 ![]() | [vote]other..[/vote] Omega One...there are other brands? Looking at the ingredients, it starts out with whole salmon, halibut, black cod, whole herring, shrimp , krill, wheat flour, wheat gluten, fresh kelp, etc. Most other fish foods start out with fish meal, flour, etc. as the main ingredients. My fish notice the difference. |

anf_redrider![]() Hobbyist Posts: 73 Kudos: 48 Votes: 0 Registered: 29-Apr-2004 ![]() | [vote]Tetramin staple[/vote] Use Tetramin flakes, but supplement with OSI shrimp pellets. The cave fish seem to enjoy the shrimp pellets and can manage to find them. |

kitten![]() ![]() Fish Guru Meow? Posts: 2266 Kudos: 2194 Votes: 19 Registered: 18-Nov-2003 ![]() | [vote]Tetramin staple[/vote] TetraMin, the rich mix. I also use the spirulina blend for my guppies/danios. The flakes could be considered the staple food, I guess, though I only feed them 2-3 times a week. I have a wide variety of foods for my fishies that they seem to enjoy. Their favored foods are the Tetra Nature's Delica (the gel-packed foods) and frozen brine shrimp and blood worms. All my bettas go wild over the gel-packed foods, so I get every variety I can find. I've had them nearly rip the bag out of my hand to get to the food. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~ |

littlemousling![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003 ![]() | [vote]other..[/vote] It's not a flake, but my staple food (actually, more or less my only food - I've ceased to supplement frozen foods and so on since I switched, since it's supposed to have everything in it) is Newlife Spectrum. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |

I heard somewhere that the tetramin is high in fats that arent healthy for fish, any truth to this? |
