Depends on what I'm feeding. I use Emerald Entree in most of my tanks--it's a mixture of brine and mysis shrimp, and has spirulina as well. I also feed frozen blood worms to supplement protien for some fish, and Jack Watley's community formula--also a mixture.
Bloodworms are a little tasteless to me. Give me some tater-tots and salt and I can make a meal out of em.
Brine shrimp and mysis shrimp are just to darn small :joke:

Blood worms, mysis and brine are rotated and/or mixed and served about every 3 days in almost all tanks. I also preslice and then feeze zuchini which I nuke before feeding- does that count as frozen?

my own personal choice if I had to choose from this list would be tater tots, everything else is just too fishy....I guess aside from the worms.....
BUT for the finned folks, I usually use Blood worms or brine shrimp but I also haven't tried the others on the list....so I have no experience with them.... but the mysis shrimp vote do have me wondering if I should give it a shot....

What, no ice cream?
The fish (FW and SW) get a rotation of brine shrimp, bloodworms, mysis shrimp and various marine blends. Except the SW fish don't get bloodworms, they hates them :sick:

Just woderin'
Do fish get "brainfreeze" as us humans do?....cuz I was thinking of rotating a diet of frozen foods in with there normal diet..My Redtail cat used to devour a chunk of frozen bloodworms, and seemed to love it...but I wondered if it would be safe for my rainbowfishes
Melatoenea..not Blueeyes

Well, its better to defrost them before feeding because it takes the fish a lot longer to digest something very cold than something "tank" temperature.
I feed hikari bloodworms, brine shrimp, and squid. I used to have tubifex worms also, but i didn't like the way the fish reacted when I fed them the worms. They didn't like them much, they didn't attack them the way they did with the bloodworms. In the tubifex worms place I now feed squid. They like the squid more than the tubifex, but still, I don't think they like them all that much. I will next try mysis shrimp in the third spot of the rotation to see how they like it.
