Fish Food Discussion Thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yeah, I saw that... I guess i'm lucky I have what I have. It didn't make the list.


OSI is a good brand from what i've heard. I have only used (am using now) their FDBW. If my angelfish had their way, they would eat nothing but.

Hikari goes without saying. It is usually a good way to go.

This is why I won't use HBH products anymore. A good food company would know what's going into their food.

I use Hikari and OSI.

I got some bad food from that list. My LFS didn't even know about the recall so when I brought the food in to get my money back they wouldn't do it. I even printed the info on the website out.:irked:

Still, I use the HBH soft and moist spirulina. Only other pellets I use are sinking Cichlid Gold from Hikari and Omega One's stuff.

My fish get a lot of live worms, crayfish, crabs, shrimp, and frozen/freeze dried stuff. Veggie eaters get dried nori and greens from the produce section of the supermarket.

Hikari sinking carnivore is my main staple for all my cichla and bichirs.
 
I also feed beef heart , brine shrimp , blood worms , super worms , chopped shrimp ,crickets , And lots of chopped silver sides
I feed twice a day the first feeding is one of the above
And the second is always sinking carnivore
 
I got tired of Jumbomin staining the water so now I mostly use Hikari stuff.When it comes to flake food I totally beleive the hype of Omega One with their ingredients,I also use Wardley flakes cause they are cheap and are a local company.
 
I have a question. It pertains to using shrimp.

Can I go to like walmart or Kroger, well maybe Kroger not sure if Walmart shrimp is even like real, lol. Can I just buy a bag of frozen shrimp and use it. I here people buying shrimp, well is it okay to just buy the bag version and thaw it in cold water, and presto my Oscars will love me. :)
 
You can as long as its raw and nothing has been added to it,extra salt ,seasonings.Cooked,no good.
