what do you feed your fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have about 20 bags and containers of various foods... bloodworms and brine shrimp are my staple frozen foods.. but I do like to randomly pick other types. Hikari's random meddles from time to time... and no joke... anything edible I can toss in the tank. I try just about anything of relatively "healthy" constitution to see if my fish like. And I feed alot of earthworms ( my fire and TT eels favorite and the main staple of their diets) my bichirs and Oscar love them as well along w/ the random foods i feed. Always read the nutriton and ingredient lists =D

I have alot of livebearers
1/2 dozen smaller plecos
senegel bichirs
fire eels, a TT eel
Oscar
needlenose fish
koi ( in for the winter!)
3 smaller species of catfish

spread out in 8 diffeent tanks. Usually if one tank doesn't like something another does. and I'm sure i'm missing fish that have been "gotten and forgotten" ... like my black kuhlie loach.. who's going on 5yrs+ atm and survived my "out of the hobby" but left the tank running "empty" 1yr hiatus. gave everything else away/ let stock dwindle.. but didn't realize i had 1 left.. lol.

and just about every tank has low light plants to suppliment micro stuffies for the fry to feed on/suppliment. and my "planted tank" holds my smallest fish. tbh i think it makes a large difference to many of these fish that i use the live plants w/ the "bugs" and algae for them to feed from.
 
feeder mosquito fish i breed, frozen blood worms, market shrimp, and both floating and sinking pellets. from time to time i feed my arowanas juvenile giant snakeheads. like once a week.

Betta: nothing, eats plants, only feed with small flake once a month.

You're starving the Betta. He's picking at the plants because he's hungry and there's nothing else to eat. Bettas are carnivores, he needs protein. At least feed him every other day if you're not going to feed him daily.
Please?
 
hikari gold and hikara veggie pellets as a staple. mussel meat, raw prawns, frozen bloodworms amd live earthworms (when there available in my cousins garden)
 
Hikari pellets(Aros, Massivores, Carnivore sinking)
Market Frozen Prawns
Hikari bloodworms
Beefheart
and sometimes feeders(once in a while for special treat)
 
The Bichir species tank gets in order of most frequent Tilapia filet , massivore , frozen krill , gut loaded crickets.

Boseman rainbow and angelfish tank gets 99% 1 mm New life spectrum cichlid formula and brine shrimp

Oscar tank gets 1-3 mm NLS and crickets

Pea puffers get nuisance snails and blood worms
 
My oscar's diet...

Monday- Fish fillets
Tuesday- lettuce or peas
Wednesday- Fast
Thursday- pellets
Friday- market shrimp
Saturday- Lettuce or peas
Sunday- Fast

My sens get the same diet but on lettuce and pea days they get massivore.

My discus and angels just get a mix of bloodworms, brine shrimp, and pellets in no specific order and fast on sunday.
