kschaefers Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 So I've been doing some reading about coral/fish growth and health and its made me question exactly what I have normally be feeding my fish, what seemed good at the time seems questionable now, just cause it says "tropical fish food" doesn't mean its good for everyone in the tank, so I've decided to switch and go quality over quantity with something I know will keep everyone happy and healthy spending a few extra bucks is worth it in the long run, cause after all they are all living things and deserve to eat good food as well. So my question is..what would you recommend? Price is not an issue, I was looking into getting rods food but before I make an impulse buy I wanted to get some second and third opinions, so let's hear it.

jonas Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 You can make your own. Go to a local Asian market and get all the different sea foods and blend it up and add some garlic exstreame and what ever else you want and call it gumbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kschaefers Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Culinary school will finally pay off! Haha do you have to bake it or anything? I feel like that could also be a messy and or smelly process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racefan Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I feed mine a varied diet. I alternate with PE Mysis Shrimp, Rods, My own home made blend & Hikari Brine Shrimp. I also will often add a tiny bit of oyster feast or Artic-Pods.I feed every other day & on off days give them nori. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barelycuda Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Making your own can save you some money but it is messy and stinky. My recommendation is that if you are going to make your own go to goodwill and buy a used blender. Momma will kill you if you use hers..... Also if you are going to make your own make sure that it is NOT cook or preserved with anything. I use a variety of foods including Rod's food. Rod's is a little spendy but very good food. I feed PE Mysis, Rods, Spirilena brine, Formula one flake and pellet, and cyclopeeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kschaefers Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 And do you just switch between those every day? Like each day a different kind of food? I feed mysis, flakes and pellets and just mix it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racefan Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 That's what I do. Our ice maker in the freezer is not hooked up so the ice maker container is my fish food container & I just grab one & feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
