Fish Food Reccomendations

[GoofyGarra]

I'm looking to increase the variety of high quality foods i am feeding my fish.

What are some foods people recommend?

Right now i have Xtreme Bottom Wafers and Krill Flake, Easy Fry and Small Fish Food, and live Grindal Worms and BBS

My fish are Corydoras, Platies, a Panda Garra, and mosquito fish.

My fish go crazy for fluval bug bites and xtreme nano pellets.

i feed a mixture of north fin and NLS pellets as my staple. Really good ingredients in both brands and the colors on my fish are always vibrant.

In the past I have fed some frozen foods as treats like bloodworm and stuff like that.  Maybe breed your own baby brine shrimp 🦐?

Lort! Well, I would like to remind you that you ASKED for this… I take no responsibility for your reaction 😂

I feed twice daily

 Morning feeding I cycle between 3 Staple foods and evening feedings between 2 Bottom feeder foods and 5 frozen/freeze dried foods 

mornings are 1 of 3  : Xtreme Nano Pellets,  Bug Bites Pellets or Bug Bites flakes

evenings for bottom feeders are either Xtreme Bottom Feeder wafers or Repashy (Soilent green, Bottom Scratchers, or Community plus- whichever I made that week)

evenings for the rest of the tank is 1 of 5: freeze dried Tubifex worms  Frozen Brine Shrimp, Frozen Baby Brine, Frozen Mysis Shrimp or Frozen Blood worms

Once or twice a week I toss in a blanched or canned veggie (cucumber, zucchini or green beans) for the Otocinclus and BN Pleco

Sundays is fasting day

 

Yes, I know I’m extra

For cories, I like to feed larger foods. My current prefs are bug bites pleco food (it’s the same as all their other pellets, just a larger piece) and the large size of vibra bites. When I feed these, I don’t have any other food for the top and middle swimming fish. I find that the cories do a good job nibbling away at the sinking foods, that releases enough particles in the water. The other fish get more than enough.

You can use Repashy gel food, it a sinking food that comes in all sorts of versions from planty stuff to meaty stuff and even woody stuff, 

also cories like shrimp pellets

and they LOVE worms, frozen blood worms, live bloodworms,frozen blackwoorms, and live blackworms are all amazing options 

imo the best way to feed them is to give them a few different sinking pellets,sticks,wafers as a staple, then supplement with frozen foods like blood worms, and once or twice a week giving them live blood worms 

The platies will like all sorts of frozen foods flakes and small pellets

Miskito fish will eat bacicly the same as platies

And idk what a Garra is

Ron’s insect mix is far superior to any insect chow on the market. It utilizes 5 different insects rather than 1-2. My fish go bananas for it.

I know someone mentioned Repashy gel. But, you can always feed it as the powder as well.

Repashy is something different to work in and is really good quality.  I have liked Hikari sinking wafers for Corys 

[reefhugger]

Another vote for Repashy foods.  I use both the Community Plus and the Soilent Green, but they have other mixes.  It's easy to prepare and feed.  My corys and the other fish love it!

I dont think you “need” more animal protein foods. But you can surely add an insect food there if you like

 

But I think you need algae rich food in there
