Good brands

They sit next to the nets in the cupboard...

I tend to stick with Vitalis these days ( New Era was their old name ) Brilliant food, doesn't mess the water and I'm yet to have a fish not like them.

I have some Vitalis branded food in my fish cupboard, also the Tetra mini granules (as previously mentioned), some Hikari sinking gold for my cichlids, some JMC high protein pellets for the corydoras and some frozen food.

I currently have a huge tub of JMC pellets, the ones I got are really big, so I crush some with a rolling pin to feed the smaller fish as well with them.

First @Ruth , now you....when did rolling pins become an essential tool for fishkeeping?

I know! I just use a pestle and mortar

Try a starve day once a week and otherwise varied & little. Perhaps they are just full

I only feed them once a day, and a tiny amount with that! even tried starving them for a day, and then the next morning they have one or 2 tiny little flakes, and let the rest rot away lol.

I will defo try that tetra mini granules! as that will help the shrimp aswell?!
And what about algea wafers? the ones i got are quite frankly crap lol. shrimp dont even touch them (they walk over it, but no more lol)

Ive seen taht a lot of algea wafers contain copper sulfate... Isn't that bad for the fishies?

I never feed flake, pellets seem much preferred.

Try the fish science worm pellets - all my fish love them!

For algae eaters I use Repashy gel and pour it into little cubes in a used frozen fish food tray. A little Repashy lasts a very long time!

The copper in food is ok, it's the copper in medications that's no good for them. They need some copper to maintain their functions.

It’s a necessity, both for safe feeding and behaviour management

Along with frozen (and very seldom live food after an unfortunate spilling of live bloodworm incident ). I mix these. They are all healthy and the young angels are growing at a rapid rate!
