I probably go overboard on searching for the “best” of everything. “Best” filtration, “best” substrate, “best” water conditioner, etc. But at least for me, that’s part of the fun of the hobby. So now, I’m trying to find the best food for my fish (Sunfish, perch, bullhead catfish). They have pretty much grown up on Omega One cichlid pellets, but now that they’re bigger, I switched them to Hikari Carnivore, which they go nuts for. But since I’m never satisfied and I had heard all these great things about brands like New Life Spectrum and North Fin, I decided to try a jar of New Life Spectrum. Total waste, my fish just watch it drop to the bottom of the tank and don’t even acknowledge that it is food. I was happy to find SuperCichlid.com carried some of these high end brands and sold sample sizes, so I didn’t need to invest a lot to try various foods. But my fish have either ignored or spit out every type of New Life Spectrum, North Fin, and another brand Cobalt that they threw into my order free just to try. So I would like to know 1. What do y’all think is the “best” food for N. Americans 2. Do you think even pellet raised N. Americans are pickier than “normal “ aquarium fish about their food 3. Do you think brands like Omega One and Hikari add anything in particular to get such a good feeding response?
