Best type of pellet food

Hi, I'd like to know what your opinion is on different types of pellet foods! Which brand is better and why?

[Cruzer]

currently feeding my fish with Henry's gourmet ( pellet form ) and they liked it,even my flame and flameback angle eating.never try the rest so not sure.

[angmoh]

i mix Henry's pellet and Dainichi.

[erikokelf]

I'm using new life spectrum pellet.

i always believe in feeding them the "worst" best

if you start with the "best" best, and one day they refuse to eat...gg

ocean nutrition > Henry's reefgourmet > NLS > etc etc etc

[Quas111]

What about TDO by reef nutrition? Has anyone used it here?

oh interesting! It seems really good!

So which would be better in terms for value for money for the quality and quantity of the pellets? Would Henry's meal be better or TDO be better?

[Clement_jr]

Ocean nutrition!

[veliferium]

Ocean Nutrition. NLS.

These are all tried and tested pelleted food for marine fish.

Personally I like ON's Formula 2 pellets. These contain Spirulina which can be used to supplement the 'greens' in most fish as most marine fish tend to be omnivorous.

It is also versatile enough to be blended and mixed with frozen food.

TDO pellets,bought clownfishes from fuel a few months back and he recommed the pellets. All my fishes are loving it so stick with this brand

Look at the protein %, this value alone says a lot for the quality of the pellet.

Good quality food has protein % >40% and as low ash content as possible. Good quality pellets often include vitamins & astaxanthin.

Good quality pellets also lack fillers, which is junk added in which does nothing for the fish. Examples of fillers include wheat germ & wheat flour.

If such fillers are listed as the first 3 ingredients, it means they are that high in proportion. Which essentially means you are paying for junk food.

The best quality fish food never will have fillers listed as the first 3 ingredients, same goes for dog food or cat food. That is why good quality fish food is never cheap, they don't save money by loading fillers.

hmm interesting points! I will definitely look out for these points when buying food for the fishes!

How about garlic? Is it a useful or pointless ingredient. I saw a post on this forum about how garlic actually decreases a fishes immunity to diseases. Is it true?

And how fast does the good foods like Henry's meal, ocean nutrition and TDO degrade in an auto feeder? Could they last around 2 weeks in the open at a time? I mean if they are high protein they would decompose very fast right?

[Kakani]

What TDO?

[flo_reeftank]

Hi bro I am usibg new life spectrum with ocean nutrition formula 2

[flo_reeftank]

Hi bro I am using new life spectrum with ocean nutrition formula 2

[Quas111]

What TDO?

it's a type of pellet food which seems to be very good not only for feeding fish but also for acclimating fish to eat pellet food. I have only heard positive remarks about it so far.

Here's the website: http://reefnutrition.com/tdo_chroma_boost.php

[dingmac]

Any bros. n sis. tried "Dr. Bassleer Biofish" pellet food? It says 54% protein on it's analysis...

[hammy]

NLS and ocean nutrition =)

[bluewind79]

Henry's gourmet, so far the fishes like it and they growing well

[Uptempo]

NLS and Hikari seaweed pellet

[bigbigfish]

Highly recommend New Era Marine pellets from Aquafauna Supplies. It's definitely far most one of the best food I've tried and I'm comparing with TDO, NLS, and Danichi which I'm using currently too.

[kohanson]

I am feeding NLS thera +A and my clownfish and yellowtail damsel will always wait for me at the top.
