The more I watch your channel, the more upbeat and positive I feel throughout and afterward. You give excellent discourses on the ins and outs of your fish room and the hobby overall, Thank You!
Everyday except Tuesdays I feed my betta a combination of New Life Spectrum Betta Formula pellets and Omega One Super Colour pellets. I usually feed him around 2-3 pellets every morning. Then depending on the day of the week, I feed him Hikari Freeze-dried daphnia or bloodworms. I also want to start feeding him frozen foods, like brine shrimp and bloodworms, but my family is not too keen on letting me keep frozen fish food in our freezer.
I feed mainly Omega Sea flake and pellet foods -- my fish love their stuff. I also feed Hikari micro-pellets, since those are sized perfectly for my tetras. Also SF Bay Brand frozen brine shrimp once or twice a week.
I have a 55 gal with 2 large goldfish, 3 dojo loaches, 7 cory cats, a school of 7 white clouds, a school of 7 golden or rosy minnows and 7 golden mystery snails. My fish all LOVE hard boiled egg yolk. My dojo loaches gobble it down so fast that it comes out of their gills. They literally go nuts and all of the other fish love it too. Yet I never see it recommended. I also take the can that water packed tuna comes in and rinse it in the fish tank to get all of the little bits in the creases at the bottom of the can, after removing the tuna. All the fish love the little bits of tuna. I also throw in a few pieces of dry cat food once or twice a week. The dojo loaches will even go to the top of the tank to nibble on the pellets while they are floating. My goldfish will literally jump out of the tank attacking the floating bits. And of course all the fish polish them off once they get waterlogged and sink. I also make sure that there is leaf lettuce or spinach floating in the tank for the goldfish and golden mystery snails and after it breaks down a bit, the rosy minnows will have a nibble. They get flake food, shrimp and algae pellets, but they seem to enjoy the fresher foods more.
Beautiful rainbows. I know you might not own betta fish or know much about them but I was wondering if you had any potential videos on betta fish care and feeding. I have one in a dorm and the hard water is making his fins curl and break. I also have a hard time feeding him because he's very picky
Thank you for the video !I love the community you have, i recently have put together a tank similar to yours. I have some boesami's coming in soon.. i did have a question at the 2:40 mark there is a fish on the bottom right with a black line running through the body with a yellowish orange finish to it, what type of fish is that if you don't mind me asking?
Hi Mike.. I seldom feed flakes. Not sure why but I'll get some. I do like giving my fish a wonderful variety of fresh, frozen and pellets. I think it's important as well. Excellent information. BTW.. when I feed my fish I share with my cats.. Finn is crazy for the bring shrimp freeze dried cubes. lol I"m sure it's good for him too!
I raised My rosy barb from fry and fed flake and Egg Yolk but now it's an adult and doesn't like flake only live, yolk and a few others things. I luckily have a worm farm so I feed small worms and it is fun to watch the attack as soon as the worm hits the water
Okay so for my tropical tank, I actually have a little jar where I have the flakes, worms and brine shrimp mixed, as I've noticed some of my fish in community tank either love or hate just worms and shrimp, and I'll feed that 2 to 3x a week, usually flakes otherwise
Hikari is da best fish food out there . Fresh can eat anything...but if you get into the saltwater picky fish eaters...Hikari is the next best thing to live foods. Just my $.01 ✌
I've been having issues with some guppies not liking sinking food so I got some FD Bloodworms. After the first feeding they seemed to like them more than frozen but I have recently read freeze dried food can cause bloating. There weren't a lot of first hand accounts but I was curious after seeing this video if you have noticed any issues with the FD foods.
you think my fish would eat the tubifex worms or the blood worms? i have a couple black molly's, couple of sword tails, and some guppies and they're pretty small in size. do you think they would be able to eat it?
I won't lie because iam not paid for there products. But Hikari fishfood is no joke. I tried lots of different company NLS, Dainichi, omega, sera,tetra,ken,aqueon,tropical etc but I always get back to HIKARI. Specially Hikari Chilid BIO gold PLUS. Hikari germ is real 80% less waste.
So, why didn't you cover frozen foods? omega one and hikari are often known as the better pellets (I hate the flakes, blech, but that's personal preference) but frozen foods are the freshest and contain the highest amount of nutrients. just came over here from aquarium coop, your videos are pretty great and I'll be adopting a version of your dwarf cichlid tank for my rams, just honestly wondering why you don't use frozen!
just a consideration-Omega One makes a really high quality cichlid food, Aqueon kinda sucks (has corn, unnamed fish meal, and other fillers that aren't really good for fish) Omega One uses lots of different kinds of fish and high quality spirulina and kelp in their foods
yea, I've found that too. I've heard some people can have difficulty getting their fish to eat Omega One though. Some of mine will eat it, but some people have difficulties with some fish in that regard. HIkari is often a good second behind that. Of course, Repashy and NLS are up there in quality too.
Have you ever had any problems with parasites when feeding freeze dried worms? Loved seeing you feed your fish! Super helpful to see up close what the food looks like and how the fish react!
Wardley is NASTY. NLS flake is a MUCH better choice, and cheaper or equal in price. Hikari also doesn't do it for me, unless we're talking about frozen or freeze dried. North Fin, Omega One and NLS are my go to brands for processed foods, personally. Read the ingredients, and don't pick crap with soy and rice etc... Also, skinned frozen peas, blanched zuchinni, cucumber and, carrot, greens, banana...
Tyler P But NLS and OMEGA uses whole fish which is bad. If it's the 1st ingerdient it will move down and end up as 6th or 7th ingredient because whole fish includes everything(bones,guts,water weight) If it's whole fish meal(whole fish processed and dried) and it's the 1st ingredient it will be the 1st. Hard to explain i don't speak english.
I’m watching this having only a school of rainbows and a ton of cichlids looking at the food thinking how small it looks next to my cichlids. Ig it’s the only was to leave some for my rainbows
My fish love the marineland flake disc. then i ask on Facebook what people think of it and they just bash it and said go with new life spectrum andmy fish don't really go for it as crazy as the marineland discs... so i feed what my fish like!
I am against flakes personally, I keep larger fish tho and use koi pellets as a regular but mixed with veggie pellets and chiclids pellets and tropical pellets
Whats so hard about buying shrimp at the Supermarket?.fresh. Freeze most, keep out a weeks worth in the fridge. What I used to do is make my own food..and might try again. Those little cans are good for a 20 gallon full of fish. When you have tanks ten times that size, at $9 a can for 2 ounces?..
Woody's Discus I just bough my Discus a bag of North fin krill gold. It is suppose to be the best for color and finnage. THEY WILL NOT EAT IT !!! So mixing it now. Woody
I have cichlids, mainly peacocks an small haps. And when I see that some of the main ingredients are wheat? Hikari cichlid staple I'm looking at you. You know it's a low quality fish food. Some sort of fish meal or whole fish at the least should be the first ingredient and you should not see a lot of wheat or soy. After watching some other videos and dealing with bloat I'm being very picky about my fish food now.
I'm new to all this. The most I ever got into with aquariums was a start up tank and a few goldfish and plecos. I was interested to see you said you had issues with bloat. I had dealt with bloat in my goats during spring (lol) but didn't realize fish could suffer from them. As it is now I am in the process of getting 60 gallon tanks and starting my first attempt at planted tanks. Thank for posting this. it gives me something to read on to be sure I know what I am doing.
hi sir iam abhishu Pathak 14 year old I also have a chanal on TH-cam namely abhi Aquatics....... I want to ask you that since last week my fishs and not taking any interest in eating food and in that duration I lost my one convect cichled and 3 sevrum cichled........ any opinion sir.....
I’ve found my fish lose their appetite if I let the tank and water quality start to get dirty. After a clean and water change they seem to eat better. Otherwise if you’re tank is clean try feeding garlic.

Hikari and Repashy have been treating my goldfish pretty well. Gel food seems to be easy on their system too.

+tams streams Nice!
*all fish need food,
wow i never knew that
just saying it might be a good Idea to replace the flake food if it is a year old.
even before then a year. i suggest after 2 months.
Or better still buy smaller quantities and replace frequently.
That way you can even change brands and type of flakes
Your fish looks beautiful & healthy so you are doing it right... ignore some of the comments.

Nice vid dude. Appreciated 😆 hikari and nt labs for the win

Yup but not good for guppies
Hi! I love your tank. What type of fish is the black & white one? Its beautiful.

I feed my fish flakes from Ken's Fish, some New Life Spectrum and brine shrimp + bloodworms of course.
I use wardley brand flakes, shrimp pellets for my Cory’s and algae wafers for my plecos
your tanks are buetiful, you should be proud
Okay so for my tropical tank, I actually have a little jar where I have the flakes, worms and brine shrimp mixed, as I've noticed some of my fish in community tank either love or hate just worms and shrimp, and I'll feed that 2 to 3x a week, usually flakes otherwise

I feed Ken's flakes and Cobalt flakes. I also feed NLS, Xtreme, and North Fin pellets.
New Life Spectrum .... hands down one of the best ever! Also quick question for you! what temperature do you keep your tetra tank at?
What is that black and white fish at 2:33? Oops spoke too soon; Archerfish. Very cool.
Great video very informative
I recommend banana, cucumber and peas out of their shells my fish have them once a week
Are the bananas dried or fresh? I'm concerned about the mess.
^Shell-less peas once a week really help their digestive system! My cory cats love a little mushed up pea!
I've been having issues with some guppies not liking sinking food so I got some FD Bloodworms. After the first feeding they seemed to like them more than frozen but I have recently read freeze dried food can cause bloating. There weren't a lot of first hand accounts but I was curious after seeing this video if you have noticed any issues with the FD foods.
Thanks for the review..
Where do you get your cardinal and rummynose tetras?
Is they any good vidoes of cycling a new tropical tank
I love colorful fish
you think my fish would eat the tubifex worms or the blood worms? i have a couple black molly's, couple of sword tails, and some guppies and they're pretty small in size. do you think they would be able to eat it?

How is the rainbow called you fed the blood worms to? I really like them
+Hugo Döner probably the bosmani
AQUAPROS hey thx for answering but i actually meant the dwarf rainbows... Maccullochi or something like that 😂
Legend has it. That the freezer has still never been defrosted and there’s no actual space left in the freezer 😅
just a consideration-Omega One makes a really high quality cichlid food, Aqueon kinda sucks (has corn, unnamed fish meal, and other fillers that aren't really good for fish) Omega One uses lots of different kinds of fish and high quality spirulina and kelp in their foods

Quick question for a 10 gallon fresh water tank with 4 Tetra's in it how often should I do water changes?
The Tetras are black skirts btw
+Harpo 225 If you dont have any plants, once a week 25% should be good
AQUAPROS ok thank you and how much conditioner for one water change do you think?
+Harpo 225 depends on what you use, just read the label!

Allison i don't think there's any parasites issues feeding dried bloodworm
Where did u get that big wood price in the middle
I'm thinking of starting a 55 gallon and I want to put an archer fish in it, is there enough space for it?
I feed frozen brine and blood worms, krill. Alternating, occasionally flaked
For my south American tank I have 2 Bolivian rams and 12 silvertip tetras so I feed a mix of granules and flakes
Please can u make a video on Roseline sharks or Dennison barbs
What size is this tank?
I'm feeding only frozen and sometimes life. Also still have pellets for the fish in my quarantine tank

Tyler P I can feed my guppies fresh banana?
Tyler P I agree with u sadly a lot of these premium brands are hard to find in stores it's all that Wardely, API & tetra crap
Tyler P But NLS and OMEGA uses whole fish which is bad. If it's the 1st ingerdient it will move down and end up as 6th or 7th ingredient because whole fish includes everything(bones,guts,water weight) If it's whole fish meal(whole fish processed and dried) and it's the 1st ingredient it will be the 1st.

tetra min isn't the best, i'd recommend either API or Omega One tropical flakes
MAINX no its full of filler such as soy and gluten. Try omega one freshwater flakes instead.
