Rudles Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Is there an alternative to brine shrimp to feed a solitary Angelfish live foods? He's already displayed his propensity to eating smaller tank mates so I want to provide him with live food. Would guppies or another live bearer be suitable? Forgot to clarify, I don't have access to a LFS/LPS or any big box stores so I can't purchase live or frozen foods.

Colu Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 You can get micro worms or vinegar eel cultures or Daphnia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) I would have a look for ponds or small bodys of water locally you will probably find Daphnia and blood you can net out Edited June 29, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenman Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 If you put a bucket of water outside for any period of time, life will find it. Mosquito larvae are a great food for angelfish and as far as I know, mosquitos are everywhere. More buckets of water mean more live food for your fish. I use a brine shrimp net to scoop up lots of live food from my rain barrels for my tanks. I've got daphnia, mosquito larvae, and God only knows what and all else in them The fish like the live food though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
