Zac Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I have some picky fish. Some lemon tetras, cockatoo cichlids, and ember tetras. 2/3 won’t eat anything except for frozen brine shrimp/bloodworms. The embers eat crushed pellets once in a while. The fish have been on a frozen food only diet for a week or 2 now and they seem to be doing great. But I read that you can’t feed only frozen food to fish because of the nutritional value. However, I also read that it’s completely fine. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 It's fine as long as it's a varied diet. Frozen daphnia should be included in the diet. They will pick at algae and plants if they need to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amr427 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 My tetras love freeze dried blood worms followed by the co-op small fish/fry food. They don't like krill flakes unless they are smashed up pretty small. I am finding its just trial and error to see what they like🤷🏼♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitieG Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I think you're good so long as your diet is varied as others have said. I have embers and they like crushed flakes. They probably wouldn't choose it over frozen foods, but they do fine eating it since it's that or hungry most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
