and frozen krill and bottom dwellers ... and algae wafers ..all hikari...the only one not hikari is arowana azoo floating sticks... but he also eats all the hikari in addition.he just discovered what he was missing..:D..
 
forgot about the algae wafers. my o loves them as an occasional treat.
 
Omega One and Hikari flakes and pellets.
San Francisco Bay Krill, and frozen blood worms and beef heart
Crickets, and worms from my worm farm.
 
I use a generic bulk crumble from my local animal food specialists, generic flake from the supermarket, tetra colour bits. OSI and spectrum when i get it for free (samples/comps etc). Frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp etc 2-3 times a week (more if conditioning or juvies), algae tabs and fresh veg for the bottom feeders.

The gerneic crumble and flake I use tends to me about 25% of teh price of the 'name' brands, has less or no fillers and still has the vitamins.

Always wondered what ash does as an ingredient?

its not an ingredient. its the amount of ash left if the product was burned. google it there are various pages on it. its a way of analysing a product to see how much waste is left if it was burned. the less ash the better.
