Most nutritious quality pellet food

[Isaac Alves]

Continuing my research here in fish diet and food types.

Question: What do aquarists in this forum use for their go to pellet-based food?

New Life Spectrum, would be my choice for pellet food. I also used a mix of frozen PE and Hikari mysis shrimp, along with some type of seaweed/macro algae for the herbivor/omnivor type animals.

Yeah, New Life Spectrum Ther A is my go-to pellet.

 

[Isaac Alves]

Great to know. Thank you.

I use a mix of Frozen, Nori and New Era pellets. New Era is a soft pellet that the fish eat as readily as the frozen even the Anthias love it. According to the label it looks like very good quality ingredients, for what that's worth.

I have 2 young clowns from Sustainable Aquatics that I feed SA's Hatchery Diet pellets along with LRS Reef Frenzy. They go nuts over the hatchery diet pellets.

Just for reference. Is this correct?

Any best practice advice with regards to storing and how long pellets remain fresh?

There's usually an expiration date on the package. Just keep it tight & in a dry spot. Are you not feeding frozen foods also? IMO, pellets are just a supplement & come in handy for fish that need to be fed multiple times a day.

I have no livestock yet. I have a 70 gallon artisan. I'm taking my time planning.

And I'm a complete rookie. So the more I learn the better.
