Patrick_G Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I might be opening a literal can of worms here but how many different fish foods do you currently own? I have 16 and I have a feeling I’m in the middle of the pack with this group of nerms. 😀 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarina Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Before I moved and had to start over with the hobby, I was a bit of a food collector 😅 I had: Repashy - 4 types; bug bites; krill flakes; freeze dried mysis; frozen mysis; frozen black worms; frozen blood worms; brine shrimp; Hikari vibra bites; Hikari first bites; micro worms; vinegar eels; white worms; grindal worms; and Sera onip tabs. So... 18 types? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenFins Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I dont nearly have as many foods as @Lowells Fish Lab, but I'll get there one day. I like to test as many foods as I can. If that food sound interesting, its coming home! I currently have 8 foods (Northfin Krill Gold, Tetra Tropical Flakes, Northfin Betta Pellets, Hikari Betta Bio Gold, Frozen Bloodworms, Fluval Bug Bites, Flakes made by my LFS, New Life Spectrum Community Pellets) The one in the smaller green container is my Hikari Betta Bio Gold, and the one in the bigger contanier is the New Life Spectrum Pellets. Hugo thought it was food time, broke my heart to tell him no. So I gave him a snack. I'm going to the LFS tomorrow, so this collection will probably be increased... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I think the more variety you feed your fish the healthy they will be as each different food I feed has some different nutrients when I keeped my Frist fish I would only feed one type of food over the years you notice that your fish look more colorful and healthy and are more active when fed a good variety of foods 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Goatee Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I’ve probably got a dozen. I rotate between a few staples daily: Krill flakes, freeze dried blood worms, freeze dried daphnia, freeze dried brine shrimp, spirulina, algae wafers, bug bites, micro, and pellets. Not counting shrimp sticks and pellets. Some fish are picky about some of the above, but they all seem to absolutely love the freeze dried bloodworms. I really want to go for frozen bloodworms and live baby brine at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it to lure the greedy fast swimmers when I’m adding sinking wafers for the bottom crew. Back in the day it was 90% of what I fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I’ve done what Cory has talked about at times - anytime I get below half a bottle I just throw it in an old thermos soup container and put it in the freezer - right now that has the remnants of Extreme Krill, Hikari Spirulina brine shrimp, and omega beta pellets. I also have LRBs fave Tetra color tropical granules, bug bites, hikari freeze dried blood worms, Extreme sinking wafers and Repashy morning woods. I also have a pepper mill with the tetra granules and bug bites I use regularly. Shrimp food I feed shrimp king complete and snow, Sera shrimp, and bug bites shrimp along with bacter ae and shrimp rx with each water change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
