Nano Fish food -something new

LetItReef · Apr 15, 2017

Hello,

What else of dry food do you feed your fish? I have PE mysis pellets, garlic pellets and Thera-A. What else is out there? I alternate it too with frozen food.

Thanks!

How about fresh food?
I go to the grocery store to buy a clam and a small scallop. Thin slice and dice it with a razor blade. $1 can buy you both. A scallop I thin slice one piece. Throw the rest of meat in the freezer. I buy a new scallop every week. I have never used a whole one. Maybe half before it gets a little gamey smell.
The clam I run it under hot water for a minute to kill the clam. Then open it up. Rip the tough brown skin the protects the neck and pop the stomach out.

There are flake and pellet versions of Ocean Nutrition's Formula 1 and formula 2.

Hikari has freeze dried mysis and spirulina brine.

Fresh foods are one of the best things you can feed. If your circumstances allow for it, I strongly recommend it.

For frozen, I like to get the variety pack from Petsmart. I know you asked about dry food, but also said you feed frozen & thought I'd bring this up. Someone suggested it to me quite a while ago & gives me a variety in a single pack of cubes. I just pick it up at my local Petsmart.

After reading about the quality and environmental standards they for their foods and test kits in Mike Paletta's article about his visit to their production facility, I've been a bit intrigued about Elos' fish foods.
