the joy of varying foods

[LMOUTHBASS]

Hello guys, just curious what you feed your fish and i want to know what you think of my fish's diets
i have gouramis,cories,angels etc and i feed them
flake food,hikari freeze dried brine shrimp, hikari freeze dried blood worms,for my bottom feeders i give em' hikari algae wafers , sinking crumbles pellets , also i occasionally feed spirulina algae flake food, n new life mini pellets pellets
i'm thinking of getting some daphnia by hikari i really can't say enough about hikari products they are great the fish gobble anything i put in by them -
i like to mix up their foods - sometimes i put a few different types at once - other times i give em something new everyday
recently i just discovered the joy of feeding bloodworms! the fish go nuts for em'
i like the bloodworms it's fun to see em eat these!!!
i like giving em' new foods because i used to only feed flak foods them i thought about it n i woul get sick of eating chicken everyday so i figure hey they shoul have variety

i hope so!!!

it's sort of new i just got sick of feeding them flakes - plus its more fun this way!!!
i'm still trying to establis a feedinf routine as to what i feed on what days etc but i suppose it doesnt matter as long as their getting well fed -
unless someone has some other info that might suggest otherwise?

 

[fishdude]

just wondering

do u feed ur fish every day or every other?

 

[LMOUTHBASS]

every day

but moderatly i don't overfeed

 

[SayersWeb]

Have you tried freeze-dried Tubifex Worms?

 

[LMOUTHBASS]
