A member had mentioned that Tetramin & similar products have wheat as ingredient & that is a filler that is not beneficial & just causes more pooping - so they don't recommend.

I have Tetramin & TopFin so guess I am feeding the wrong flakes.

Reading that, I bought a few flake types from www.kensfish.com mainly HGH which is marketed as not having the unnecessary fillers that the mass produced superpet stores/LFS carry. but when I look at the ingredient list, it too has wheat.

any opinions? I will finish out my supply (I mixed the 2 canisters & now have one full can).

so what about HGH flakes?

also, what do you use?

what would one say is the best flake food to use?
 
out of flake food, kens is probably the best quality. it depends what fish you're feeding, but I feed pelleted food most often (usually hikari but would not hesitate to order kens) As far as I know, an important thing to consider is that fish are not as well equipped to digest land-based ingredients as sea-based... Which is why it's better to feed fish-meal based food than say, dog food like some koi breeders do
 
Kens
 
Pretty much nothing but Kens.....of any style food.....
 
Tetra. I think i have about ten different foods in the fish drawer, nine are Tetra one is Hikari. And only Hikari for their crab pellets. So for me, Tetra :)
 
I use Kens Brine shrimp flake, beefheart flake, and spyrolina with garlic and paprika for my discus. As well as his sinking bits and 5 stick blend. I also use his cichlid mix for my other cichlids & his algae wafers for my bottom feeders.
 
I use Kens or Hikari, mostly Ken's as he will answer any nutritional questions you have and also cannot beat the price for quality.
