New Flake Food
- Thread starter fishboy7
- Start date
I tried to minimalise all the various foods I have so for flakes I use Omega One with Garlic marine flakes for both my FW and SW tanks, FW fish seem to love the stuff.
For the algae wafers I usually buy whats on sale, I've used both Aqueon and Omega wafers. For Shrimp pellets I use omega again.
I've recently ordered a couple of different foods from Ken's and they are great. They have a GREAT vegetable pellet with calcium that is great for snails, shrimp, crayfish. They have pellets without calcium too. I'd check them out. Ken's get great reviews.
I like Ken's Fish foods. But... I haven't had an order under $75.00 in a while. ;-) I currently have eleven tanks running. A couple of dozen more in storage.
Half a pound quantities seems like a lot to people with only one tank, but if you're feeding more than one tank, it's the best way of getting and keeping reasonably priced foods.
There is NOthing wrong with any of the commercially sold fish foods from national brands.
The manufacturers all have long term breeding programs to test the safety and quality of their foods.
Everyone else copies those types of formulations.

Definitely a fan of omega one. It's pretty reasonably priced and is also higher quality than the bargain brands you find at a place like target.

I bet you would be surprised who actually makes the fish food for all the "major" brands and where their production facilities are located. Distributed is one thing. Produced is another.
A company from China asked me to sell their flake food for them. The cost per pound was $2 before shipping . . . . . . . . . . They still contact me from time to time. but shipping to the US put them way out of reach. And, BTW, I could have named it anything I wanted to.
