What is the worst food you've ever fed your fish? I think it would be nice to get a thread going (maybe sticky) that tell people what food is worthless to buy and avoid. I couldn't really find a thread like it, so I started this one.

For me, it has to be Top Fin Shrimp Pellets. None of my fish will eat them, except for one of the cichlids did, but it didn't seem to really like it. Most of them will, however, eat Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets. I would probably assume that all Top Fin food is probably not good.
 
fried chicken?
 
most sinking pellets unless you have a catfish or bottom dweller.
 
i don't know if it was topfin brand but my fish used to love shrimp pellets, they're great for cats. the worst food i've seen people buy is the tertamin flakes and crisps for goldfish.

You have to train some fish onto pellets.. I have the following eating sinking pellets: Tropical Gars, Leichardti Arowana, Emperor Cichlid, Stingray, Peacock Bass..
 
I'm talking about certain food from brands, not in general (such as Top Fin Shrimp Pellets). What have you tried w/ a lot of your fish that none would eat?
 
well i didnt buy them but i fed my FH and bluegill cane toad tadpoles. it almost killed the FH. the bluegill wouldnt touch them cuz it was wild caught and knew wat to stay away from.
