What Do You Feed Your Fish
- Thread starter hondamx
- Start date
bettas eat a diet of flake, pellet and freeze dried bloodworms (and the occassional live treat if i can catch them)
tetras eat mainly flakes and some freeze dried brine shrimp cubes.
snails and shrimp eat whatever doesn't get eaten as well as algae wafers
speaking of what we feed our fish, anyone know whats a good sinking wafer to supplement both my snails and shrimps? something both will want to eat and has a good source of calcium. i've seen shrimp wafers, bottom feeder wafers, carnivourous bottom feeder wafers, etc. what to pick?

Snails will eat basically anything. tmtpowers has a great list of calcium-rich veggies you could PM her for. I guess another route would be to soak shrimp pellets in liquid calcium supplements designed for reptiles (formulated for ingestion, vs. dosing water like coral supplements). Shrimp pellets are great for shrimp because they are made from shrimp (soylent green, anyone?) and so contain nutrients that they need in their bodies like iodine.icecubez189 said:
5 types of freze dried, 1 type of flake(only freshwater fish get this), 2 types of frozen and 2 types of fresh veggies. I may add or substract menu items in the future.
i was kinda confused at first if shrimps eat shrimp pellets (soylent greens is people!) but if they do, i guess the snails will eat them too. i might go pick them up sometime this week. i heard they were packed with a good amount of calcium anyways.
2 days ago, i bought a cucumber, washed it, sliced two pieces off, washed them a little, then i freezed and thawed it to make them easier to eat, attached to veggie clip and placed it on the glass near the bottom of the tank. i checked every so often, but no snails went to eat it. after soaking for hours, still nothing. when i did see a snail approach the cucumber slices, they just "walked" right over them as if an obstacle. will i have better luck with other veggies? (lettuce, spinach, etc etc)

I clicked on of them too, but I supplement with anacharis (they love it), fresh veggies, and wafers to supplement my chubby little cories. Thinking about doing fresh-hatched baby brine shrimp when protein eaters get bigger. . .
flake, frozen, pellets, live, and many different veggies, oh and algae wafers for training treats to the snails.
I had to click them all because I feed a little bit of everything other would be fresh veggies, worms, ghostshrimp ect...

Try using squash, carrots, celery bring some water to a boil throw it in for a couple minutes, then run cold water over it. You can throw some in the tank then (may need to weight it down for it to sink) freeze some to use later. All of mine LOVE these!
