I'm starting some of those boring community tanks :banhim:

I've become extremely versed in pellet foods and have a foundation of knowledge in the DIY and live food areas but I'm a fish out of water with flake foods, Should I consider them or just stick with really fine pellet foods??? I like flake because it sinks but slower than pellets and that works better for my more laid back fish. I'm feeding small rainbows like dwarf neons, celebs, and threadfin rainbows, soon I'm hoping to get some angel fish and rams. Thanks for the input. currently I have them on NLS community pellets and they struggle to eat them or grab them before they hit bottom/get lost in the plants. Omega one is the only flake I've used in recent history.:)

mmm my boring community tank with tetras and angels works with NLS community pellets, its pretty high stocked, we put a bit of food in and the angels take the pellets from the surface then tetras take them falling when it hits the ground the corys get most of it but all the fish swim down and pick it up also. so saying this I think when the fish get used to it they will learn to come down and pick it up.
