Pellet Food

[Fishfreak]

This sure sound like a stupid question ... but I'll ask anyway ...

What brand of pellet food do you guys feed your marine fish?

I'm looking for one that will sink slowly. I have a swallowtail angel that is not aggressive enough to compete for food with the rest of the gang at the top. Don't want to feed frozen brine/mysis shrimp all the time.

Thanks

this one from HL.... errrr but i can't find the name leh.. wahahahah... errr red cap.. written there MARINE GRAN.. PET DAJANA....... $6.50 only... it will sink slowly but some will still float on the surface of the water... hmmm u can make it sink if u literally throw the food into the water..

ths desc get from customaquatic

HBH Marine Spirulina Soft & Moist regular pellet 1.1oz. Soft and Moist with Spirulina is a super-rich food containing high amounts of spirulina algae

i'm using this. most of it will sink, some left over float awhile then will sink also

i use TetraMarine Marine Granules...

reasonably priced and can float... if u wan 'em to sink faster, juz grind 'em...

Have the same promwhen i 1st introduced my Yellow Tang. Now he/she is is just as fast as the rest

I'm using Kent Platinum pellet, Sera Granules & HBH pellet. I always soap it in a small cup of tank water before i feed it to the fish. It helps the pellets to sink faster. Oops sorry u wanted those that sink slowly All the abv 3 sink quite slowly.

U can try flakes also.....waste it down thru a PVC pipe with some water. U can even adjust the depth u want.....works for me

[UFO]

I meant wash it down, not 'waste'

i can only suggest mixture of pellet food and some BS will keep your fish happy...imagine yourself eating rice 365days a year...u also sian rite mixture as in one day HBH pellets, one day other brand pellet...one day BS etc

sweet sour prawns(mysis)

sambal kangkong(nori)

Hay bee hiam/prawn sambal( brineshrimp)

on occasion- calamari(cut fresh sotong)

green salad(american lettuce)

got somemore but that ones really once in a blue moon.(mince prawn wif garlic and Spirulina/cucumber/bread).

Nobody falls sick.

My fish eat this,

Always healthy and strong. You should try it too. Meaty! YUM!

[Achilles Tang]

You rear dogfish, Tanzy?

I feed pellet foods occasionally as I think they contain a lot of phosphates.

[Tanzy]

Real fish eat Eukanuba! All the rest of the wimps eat nori!

Have you tried feeding your fishes Kobe Beef?

Heard it improves colour and increases breeding.
