What you feeding your rainbows?

[PattysAquatics]

I recently bought some Boesemani Rainbows. I have xtreme krill flakes, vibra bites, frozen brine shrimp and then ordered some hikiari micro pellets for food. What does everyone feed their rainbows and is this food ok for them ?

Extreme slow sinking pellets mixed with semi-float. Krill flake, vibra-bites, frozen spirulina brine shrimp, Mysis shrimp, repashy community blend, blood worms. Pretty much alternate foods throought the week. But my go to feed is the Extreme pellets and krill flake. You want them to get some spirulina as they naturally feed on algae. Unfortunatly mine werent too keen on the spirulina flake. So I just do the spirulina brine shrimp. no fish denies that haha.

I don't have Boesmani, but I have a group of Lake Kutubu rainbows (Turquoise), which are a similar size.  I haven't found any kind of fish food they won't eat, and after they've cleaned up whatever food was in the water column they'll start scouring the bottom for whatever got past them.

I have noticed that they seem to be reluctant to eat anything floating on the surface, but once it starts to sink they're all over it.
