My jaw dropped when you said you go through a huge can of flakes within a few days. Even with that many tanks I would have guessed at least two weeks. Crazy! I never thought about how much food a large fish room would go through. I have 4 tanks- a 60 gallon, a 55, a 20H, and a 10 gallon. I feed 4-5 different foods, so sometimes I am throwing food out for being old before I even get past 3/4 of the bag. Although, as shocked as I was at hearing how much fish food you go through, some people are shocked at how much dog food I go through. I breed Olde English Bulldogges and Bullmastiffs. Their food bill could rent an apartment in some areas of the country 😂

@rosemarydudley9954 2 жыл бұрын

Variety is the spice of life. I have two cold water aquariums with small fish. They have a regular flake and a small flake. I feed small amounts every other day. On the in-between days I give them...on a rota:- Hard boiled egg yolk ... boiled, SKINNED peas and broad beans... frozen blood worms ... carrot slices, boiled and occasionally boiled cucumber slices. Some nibble away at algae... They love everything I offer them, they are happy, dorsal fins always up.

Oh, and yes the Omega One algae wafers have the very best ingredients. Almost every fish I have likes them. I crush some up for easier access to more fish, especially the smaller fish. My large severums eat the wafers whole, if I dont break them up. Agree totally with your opinion on them, best you can buy and the fish love it.

Didn't realize this video is from 4yr back until I was done watching. Doesn't matter, good info is good info! I've never tried repashi but think I I'll give it a try soon. I fully understood all the food sizes and fish types to feed each with. But especially appreciated the comments about using feeder fish or locally sourced live foods. I don't believe most hobbyists would've thought about these sources not being in best health, having parasites, or having other illnesses. Thanks for the words of wisdom as a preventative measure. Have a great day!

Great video!! I am new to fish keeping and am learning as I go. I started out with a betta the beginning of this year. I now have 7 tanks and have enjoyed adding different species of fish to my tanks. I too use the tetra flakes and have had good luck with them. I use rapashy and bloodworms. I recently purchased 3 figure 8 puffers. I buy frozen silversides, Krill and shrimp. I am going to see if I can start some snails breeding so that I have a supply for them to eat. My LFS told me they were freshwater fish. Everything I have read says they are brackish. I started transitioning them over from fresh to brackish with my water changes. Thank you for your valuable information. Keep it up, I’m still learning. :)

Ended up feeding it to my assassin snails. Half of my tanks get Cobalt Mysis Spirulina flakes: the fish in those tanks absolutely love it, but the fish in the community tank don't, they prefer the Aqueon Tropical flakes. Northfin pellets are received well by the fish large enough to eat them. Bug Bites are a winner all around.

My bettas eat aqueon betta pellets, fluval bug bites for small fish, freeze dried blood worms, & tetra betta flakes. My snails also get aqueon herbivore shrimp tablets (smallest algae tablet ever & almost all plants), & tetramin tropical tablets (good calcium sources in the product though calcium itself is not listed on nutrients). They go straight for both those & usually sit on them till they're gone or full, depending on their size.

Any useful information about this would be very helpful/ useful. Thank you, Tom from UK.

I stock my planted tanks with tetras and endlers. They devour the Fluval Bug Bites. I also make a mixture of Omega Color flakes, Tetra Color granules and Northfin Community pellets in a pepper grinder and grind the food into my tanks. Do you have any thoughts on Golden Pearls and Decapsulated Brine Shrimp eggs as I am considering trying these?

For the brine shrimp eggs - definitely hatch them out! Fish will go crazy for them. : -)

I thought I was feeding a variety but compared to what you're doing... I'm bad at my job. I stick to Hikari for the most part, but not exclusively. I use the Hikari Sinking Carnivore and Hikari Sinking Gold pellets for the bottom feeders and the Hikari Bio-Gold+ and the Hikari Gold floating pellets and then some Ocean Nutrition Formula One & Two flake for the surface feeders. I also use a Hikari frozen Bloodworm cube every night for my fire eel. I have 5 tanks, one of which (29) is empty and doubles as a quarantine/hospital tank, two are grow out tanks (40g & 55g) and two are display tanks (75g & 210g). I've been doing this for nearly half a century and I still have so many questions I feel like a newb listening to you.

have you tried the north fin algae waffers ? I recently have my pleco and snail and even a cory female will leave nothing

I haven't tried them just because the Omega Ones have been working so well.

my fish go mental for hikari micro pellets, I even take a mortar and pestle and grind it into a blend for live bearer fry. I have repashy's *morning wood* for my clown plecostomus but it's so popular with mollies and platies I usually have to add a couple cubes at a time for there to be anything left, and the omega one algae wafers have top notch ingredients, idk what it is but my mollies like the cheaper "algae" wafers that turn into a cloud of goop better, idk if they're just a cheap date or what)( the only food you talked about I haven't tried is the new life spectrum sinking pellet, and the only thing I use that wasn't touched on in some way is; I have hikari sinking crab pellets just for my mystery snails, but it's popular with the live bearers to pick at idk if it's the added calcium or if it's just tasty

Take a look at this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zr1kYNmk1aeZgok.html - You will see I have yellow labs in this mbuna tank and they are all getting along fine (Rusty cichlids, acei, red zebra, saulosi, hong, greshakei, etc). As far as food goes I like anything algae/spirilina-based.

I have had some luck culturing mosquito larvae for my male betta and feed him those a few times a week. Do I have to worry about over feeding them? Obviously it is great fun to watch him "chow down".

If he starts to look a little too plump you can always back off a bit. : -)
