skipper Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Oh dear... every day is a community tank buffet... 2x repashy; fluval bottom feeder and tropical bug bites; freeze dried brine shrimp/tubifex worms/blood worms; hikari sinking wafers, algae wafers, crab cuisine, fancy guppy, betta bio-gold; co-op easy fry food; frozen blood worms, frozen brine shrimp. we no longer own mayonnaise. No room on the fridge door. 15 kinds not including the captured fruit flies I throw in my betta tank or blanched veggie medley (fresh from the yard when seasonally available 😂). ...also the occasional fry snack. Nature is brutal, but the danios have colored up beautifully. I’ve watched my micro creatures and baby snails turn a melting crypt leaf into a smorgasbord also. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARMYVET Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 WOW...after reading all of this ...I feel so inadequate.

Betsy Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Hmmm... The ones I feed most often are: Xtreme Krill Xtreme Spirulina Xtreme Betta Bites ACO Easy Fry Hikari Betta Bio-Gold I also have: Repashy Community Plus Xtreme Bottom Wafers (these never get eaten fully) Hikari Algae Wafers (these are well loved but fall apart quickly!) Hikari Freeze Dried Blood Worms (Spritz loves these! But, I only have them at school.) And, I just ordered: Xtreme Shrimpee Sticks (can't wait!!) Xtreme Nano (I don't think I really needed this one...ha!) It's way too easy to shop for fish food...haha!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 For those of you who have tried a ton of foods....which are the best meaty foods that float for longest? I just got Hemirhamphodons (little halfbeaks) and I need food that floats for a long time. They will only eat from the surface. I had a sample of Hikari Fancy Guppy and they ate that up...I think I also have a sample of Hikari Micro Pellets that I'll try. I want to get their Vibra Bites but not sure if they will float. I'd love to know others' experiences with floating pellets so I can round out my next Co-op order! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vibra bites sink very quickly halfbeaks like plenty of live and frozen foods in there diet I would get I good quality flake food like extreme krill flakes and hikari freeze dried brine shrimp or blood they float for a long time Edited June 25, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatyourpeas Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I feed mine: Hikari Shrimp Cuisine Hikari Crab Cuisine Hikari Sinking Wafers Hikari Sinking Cichlid Gold Hikari Algae Wafers Hikari First Bites Cobalt Extra Premium Betta Hikari Frozen Bloodworms SFB Freshwater Frenzy Dried Nori Live copepods, amphipods, snails, bloodworms, mosquito larvae, the occasional bug that falls in the tank, blanched veggies.

Yep, I foolishly thought I could just feed them live baby brine shrimp...those also sink. 🤣 Frozen bloodworms also sink, annoyingly...although I might try separating out some of the frozen worms and see if they'll float without as much "weight" as a whole cube has. I have Hikari freeze-dried Tubifex worms so I might also give those a try, in addition to getting one or two of your suggestions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I second the recommendation for Hikari freeze-dried brine shrimp and extreme krill flake for floating time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyjuliano Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Not as many as most of you! For the “finned ones”… Fluval Bug Bites Color Enhancing Flake Fluval Bug Bites Spirulina Flake Frozen Brine Shrimp Frozen Blood Worms Fluval Multi Protein Formula Cichlid Pellets The fish get fed one or the other of the flake foods (or the pellets for the African Cichlids) in the AM, then one or the other of the frozen foods in the PM. They get fed everyday. The inverts (snails, shrimp) get a usual diet of assorted tank detritus/algae, with a Sunday treat of some boiled zucchini or Hikari Shrimp Pellets or algae wafers. The same applies across the board to all tanks, which are currently 6 in number (with 2 more under development).
