lewisriverfisherman Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I ordered this to help my flake food from going into my over flows but it works better for pellet food so I'm looking for recommendations on pellet food? I am using new life spectrum marine fish formula right now and was wondering if there is anything better out there. I am excited about this as I wont have to use filter floss or a sock this getting rid of some nitrates in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxkenny90xx Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Personally i've always preferred to blend up seafood with some Zoe, selcon, and garlic additives rather than pellet or flake food for my fish (I know that's not very helpful but just my 2¢) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Oh dont worry my fish get a wide variety of fish food, I have food I made as well but they are grumpy only getting fed 1 time a day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Was curious about this as well - got an auto feeder I want try to set up for when we are out of town - not going to work so well with their normal frozen diet 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm not exactly sure what you mean by being able to get rid of filter floss or socks. Those items are typically used for more than just catching extra food, which I don't imagine they are especially good at any way unless you are constantly rinsing them out... Like daily. Whether to use socks or not is definitely debatable, but I wouldn't make that decision based on whether some flake food goes down the overflow. To your original question, I just always look at the ingredients and make sure that actual fish meat is the first several ingredients listed. Other than that, it's tough to say that one is better than another. Variety is always good overall.

Lexinverts Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Here's my favorite. It's very clean, easy to get, and my fish love it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M9CSLB4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabbyCrabs Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I use hikari marine herbivore sinking medium, which is very small pellets. Similar to new life spectrum there +a. All my fish love the hilarious pellets in both tanks, along with crabs, snails, and shrimp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
