I feed baby brine every morning and then rotate flake, pellets frozen and live foods in the evening. I then put gel based food in when the lights go out for the bottom dwellers.

Great guide as there is so many options for feeding these days. Brine shrimp is my favorite extra food, but it does require a good setup to make it as effortless as possible.

I put in the effort to feed 2 live foods and 2 frozen foods, and my guppys only ever get excited when they see the viba-bites bag, and they eat the bulk flake I give sparingly like they've never eaten. I won't say it feels good lol

Such a good topic to cover. Even experienced fish keepers can tell you stories of a new fish they've never kept before that refuse to eat anything offered. For beginners or even intermediate hobbyists, it can be a minefield of options. I've kept some fish before that refuse absolutely everything for up to a week and then suddenly eat absolutely anything. In the interim it can get expensive trying every option. Some great advice in this video 😊

You can make your own fish food. Mix up 1 part fish meat and/or seafood, 1 part bland porridge and 1 part (by volume) spinach. Blend it in a mixer or a meat mincer. You have ideal food for goldfish and African cichlids. For other fish increase the meat content to over half.

This is one of the most complete guides for feeding fish i've seen. Also: Usually if you fish doesn't eat, it's probably because they don't need to. Unless you are trying to breed, or grow your fish to a bigger size, not much food is needed. We usually tend to overfeed much more than underfeed. Those peapuffer only eating worms.. i hope they can have some snails for snacks aswell"

My 40-gallon tank has 5 betta girls, 6 neon tetras, 5 Rasboras, 6 amber tetras, and a Chinese algae eater. I have spent a fortune on fish food that they refuse to eat. The only thing that I can get most of them to eat is frozen baby brine shrimp. I need community food that all of them will eat. Should I keep buying and trying? Or is there a food someone could recommend?

I bought 3 Borneo Sucker loaches about 6 weeks ago. They seem to be doing well. But I never see them eat prepared food. (They even seem scared of it sometimes). The first few days they ate all the "brown algea" in the tank. Now I have green hair algea (I think) they seem to eat it, but not that much. I'm afraid they won't get enough food long term. I've fed Hikari algae wafers, sera shrimp pellets, Top Fin flake food, Omega One freeze dried brine shrimp, and repashy soilent green. I've even tried putting one in a floating baby tank for a couple days with food. Hoping it would get used to the food and have a better chance of eating it without competing with tank mates. What should I do? How do I get them to eat prepared food? How do I encourage the "brown algea" they loved instead of green hair algea?

I had this problem with my first batch of Hillstream loaches and I think the problem with mine was that they didn’t know it was food. I put two in a 45 gallon and when I fed them blanched zucchini. I never saw them eat it. They eventually died a month or two later. However when I got my second batch, I got 6 and I put them in a small 5 gallon quarantine tank which was pretty empty besides the filter and a hiding cave. I placed the zucchini right in the middle and they found the food pretty fast since there was nothing else. Now they always cover the zucchini whenever I put it in. But they could also be scared of your other fish to go near the zucchini or maybe other variables. I would recommend placing them in a smaller tank/container for a few hours or a day with you prepared food so they have time to explore it at see that they can eat it. Good luck!

feeding wet fish flakes helped my fish transition to dry foods. It has a similar texture/colour to bloodworms so they're more likely to try it.

Irene, I love you and your videos like a fat kid loves cake. I all my years of fresh water fish keeping, I've never had a fish that didn't snarf down any fish food thrown in the tank. In my experience they're like dogs with gills.
