how many diff. types of food u feed fish?

[Ringo]

do you just feed one or two types of food, or a whole bunch.

and what type of food is it, (not brand, like flakes, brine, peas, etc.)

[aquachick]

I feed flakes, frozen bloodworms, frozen brineshrimp, sinking shrimp pellets and I've tried the blocks of tubifex worms but they don't seem to care for that.
Flakes are the primary, with the others being given 1-2x a week, with the exception of the shrimp pellets, which I give at least 4x a week for my cories.

2 Different brands of flakes....

Mine get rotated... Frozen: bloodworms, mysis, brine, tubifex, daphnia Live: brine, grindal worms (recently got some daphnia working on that). Freeze dried - bloodworms, tubifex, daphnia. 4-5 types of flake food from www.kensfish.com and micropellets for the bettas, green peas, sinking wafers and algae wafers for the bottomfeeders.

All of my frozen is Hikari. In fact I guess most of my food is Hikari with the exception of the kensfish stuff which I like because it doesn't contain ethoxyquin and the fish seem to love it.

The menu for fry - frozne rotifiers, vinegar eels, microworms, bbs, golden pearls, first bites.

Normally: Flake, and Bloodworms.

i have only found 7 foods that i feed: flakes, froz bloodworms, froz brine, peas, live earthworms, live brine, and some lettuce.

how many types of food can be fed to the reg. type of fish?
oh yeah, i just started on them sinking pellets for my cories, so 8

[Ringo]

i also want to start on daphnia, and them tubliflex worms.

and i sometimes as a treat throw them weekend feeders in, all of my fish love them

[Ownager2004]

I feed 3 different types of flakes to my neons and throw in various insects to see if they are interested (my room is cooled by a box fan... so i have all the insects in the world to experiment with, lol).

[Sprite42]

I feed two different flakes, granules, bloodworms, tubifex worms, algae wafers, sinking carnivore wafers, shrimp pellets every night.

They get a rotation of live foods, flightless fruit flies, grindel worms, or daphnia, in the mornings. They also get fresh spinach leaves, cucumbers, or zucchini, and occasional frozen peas.

Mbuna- NLS, cichlid vegi flake, spirulina pellets and some times freeze dried krill. I rotate when ever I feel like it. Some times frozen peas. No set schedule.

Aulonocara and Haplochromines- NLS, blood worms, spirulina pellets and some times freeze dried krill. Same schedule as above.

Tropicals- Standard flake, NLS small fish, and 2 different types of waffers for the corys.

At times I will feed all tanks with frozen brine shrimp that has been packed with spirulina and algae waffers on occasion too.

3 kinds of flake, 5? kinds of pellets, 2 kinds of freeze dried, 1 frozen, 5? kinds of live, 4+ kinds of veggies...

[Durbkat]

I feed the fish in my 55g and 10g flakes and the bottom dwellers get fed algae wafers and occasionally the fish in the 55g and 10g get blood worms and the bettas get granules and blood worms once a week.

[Ringo]

all fish seem to like them sinking wafers...

[violet]

I don't like/use the discs. They stick in my gravel vaccuum strainer or clog my plain siphon hose. Decent sized pellets are enjoyed just as much but leftovers are removed more easily. Just my opinion.

[Alin10123]

On a rotation, 2 different kinds of flakes, freeze dried baby shrimp, freeze dried tubiflex worms, freeze dried bloodworms, and frozen brine shrimp. I basically just rotate daily.

[blor]

two different kinds of flakes, frozen daphnia, dried bloodworm, sinking pellets, and wafers.....and zucchini if there's any in the fridge

[MaryPa]

I have more varieties of fish food than snacks for the hubbie. Daphnia,spiralina, BBS,Algae waffers,Flakes,Cichlid Pellets, Shrimp Pellets, Tubiflex, live brownworms that I freeze,Bio-Blend, UncleRick`s three mixes, my home made veggie/shrimp/br/worm special. Gee I should have clicked 10+ instead of 8. Oh yes and not to forget my loaches snails which they just love so much.

[Jojo]

I feed my african cichlids flakes one day and pellets the next.

[girth vader]

flake, freeze dried plankton, colour bits (granules), frozen brine, freeze dried tubiflex, cucumber.

i just mix it up everyday to keep them happily amused at feeding time. i do feed them the colour bits and flake everyday though. the others are rotated in.

[flamingo]

I have at LEAST 20 different types of food, heck my little oscar has 5 brands of cichlid food just for him!

THE BEST flake food is that reef nutrition from Ocean Nutrition or whatever it's called. Everything of mine eats it and their colors realy start to pop. My moms fish were all getting light in color, fed them that for a week, and they got REALLY colorful. -had to throw that in.

SOme food: african cichlid attack, oscar grow, hikari cichlid staple, hikari cichlid gold, dainichi cichlid pellets, super soft (by HBI, soft little pellets made of krill and stuff), super soft spirulina, alagae tabs (2 kinds), at least 4 different flake foods, krill ( a LOt of krill heheh), frozen and live brine, mysis shrimp, daphnia, blood worms, squid... and more but don't want to type anymore lol. --keep in mind I don't feed this all in one day! lmao
