What fish food is best for tropical fish

Hi all

What brand of flake food are you using.

Is tetra better then sera etc

Please advice what flake foods you are using?

 

I believe in using a mixture of foods. I have tetra granules and Ocean nutrition flakes that I mix in an old salt grinder that I cleaned. And feed the dry foods every second day. Once a week I feed my fish blood worms also ocean nutrition. I actually alternate blood worms and brine shrimp every week. So basically every second week my fish gets blood worms or brine shrimp. I also occasionally get fresh daphnia from my LFS to feed the fish as well.

 

i think tetra and sera are much of a muchness they both make good quality , i knw sera have foods with different flake flavours etc to variate the fishes diet but i alos think tetra makes a good quality one , so all up to u ?

 

I grew up with Tetra being my only option and despite the price hike in later years..... I still have a lot of confidence in it.....

 

Live food. Freshly hatched Brine Shrimp.

If you have to feed Prepared food, then Ocean Nutrition, Tetra and Sera... Or get Flake foods from the Prof, that stuff is good!

 

Ether is good cos you will find them a every stall.
Just the price as cheetah has mentioned.
If only spot price checking was allowed on the forum.
COs sometimes same product & weight is almost 50% more expensive.

Don't know if the mod team will allow such execercise?
It be the benifit for all? Just a thought..

 

A good frozen live food brand that will not give the fish diseases?

:questionmark:

 

@BBQ. The thread topic is what food to use... not what is the price. And you are absolutely correct... we dont allow spot pricing cause that we are not a free advertizing platform for non sponsors.

 

@DewaldC dont buy the cheap fong kong ones, ocean nutrition makes good ones.

 

@hviviers75 - I think the answer is personal choice but variety is the spice of life. Vary their foods if you can. Would you want to eat the same thing day in and day out?

 

I also mix the flakes/pellets I use and supplement that with bloodworm, daphnia, peas and baby marrow

 

Anyone used the new Omega One Range I have read great stuff about there products.

 

Yeah, I use the Omega range - amongst others! My fishies love it - but they're not brand specific!

 

Yep same here, I realised I made a mistake, I use the Omega one betta flakes as well as all the others.

 

@Ryno Thanks i will give it a go.:bigsmile:

 

How about mixing Tetra with Omega one then? Any thoughts on this?

 

I use the food imported by Dirk exclusively.

Also heard amazing reports of the Omega one. I use the Omega One Shrimp Pellets to treat my fish...

 

That is what I do, I mix various foods so that my fish don't become picky eaters.

 

What food is this that Dirk imports?

 

I think that is a good idea think I will get some Omege one Colour enhancing flakes and their normal freshwater flakes will mix it with my Tetra flakes. Think this will work good.
