I would like to stick with Hikari or Ching. All I can get my hands on locally is OSI. Any good???
 
??
 
comin on friday...any ideas?
 
Osi sucks. Any good cichlid pellet is good for your flowehorns. I like omega one, new life spectrum, hikari, cichlid xtreme, danichi, and stuff from kensfish.com is good too. Most LFS usually carry frozen/freeze dried food that is good to give to your flowerhorns every here and there also.
 
good to know...certainly wont buy OSI

^^^Agreed....i get my food from kensfish.com....can't beat the price....especially when 5 lbs. cost ya like 30.00.


Camphilophus, I see ya mention freeze dried foods as well. You know I value your input, but i read somewhere that freeze dried foods should not be fed to FH's....Any reason why someone would say such a thing? I myself use frozen bloodworms and such, but have not used freeze dried.

You think I can use them....I want to add more variety to all of my fishes diets....flowerhorns, RT, and SA/CA cichlids.

Never heard that. I feed freeze dried krill to my flowehorns and new worlds all the time as a treat and they have never had problems. A few of them will even jump out of the water for it.

Guess I will get some today!!! Which foods do you get from kensfish.com?

I use growth meal for my fry, sinking growth pellets as staple for my SA/CA's, and Kens Super soft krill(SA/CA also) and Hikari Gold floaters for my FH's currently.
