Hi folks, what would you recommend being the highest quality nutrition fish flakes for white cloud mountain minnows? And does it crumble easily to size?

I haven’t fed flake for years, I usually use a micro pellet

I never knew about micro pellets until I googled them today. Would these be good for my minnows.?

Fluval bug bites now do a flake version should be worth a try, I use the granule version it's very good but possibly to large in size for minnows, if you can I would alternate the dry food with frozen or live food, something small and floaty like Daphnia would be good.

Will definitely look at daphnia, i saw some freeze dried on amazon. If I get frozen do I defrost it first.

Fluval bug bites Tropical Formula and Hikari micro pellets are my two go to pellets (stopped feeding flake after about 3 days of owning fish). Also frozen selection (I like the ones that are a variety all in one cube, generally labelled as 5 in 1 or similar). Edited to add; I had WCMM for 3 years and they had the Hikari pellets mostly.
240L Fluval Roma with Oase 600 Biomaster: 1 German red bristlenose, 4 male cherry barbs, 6 standard rummynose, 3 golden rummynose tetra, 9 emperor tetra, 14 cardinal tetra, 2 hengeli rasbora, 3 nerite snails, 1 adult Sulawesi snail and multiple juveniles continually appearing.
Parameters: gH2, kH1, pH7.4 (tap).

Daphnia, cyclops, brine shrimp, lobster eggs, all these in frozen form are good for WCs, and sometimes bloodworm is small enough because it’s seasonal.
For flakes, I use Tetra Min.

ooh, I didn't know they did these, what brand do you get if you don't mind me asking. At the moment I have 5 separate blocks and mix them all together to do 4 feeds which involves frdige storage that Mrs S isn't keen on.VikingMummy2015 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 22:28 pm Also frozen selection (I like the ones that are a variety all in one cube, generally labelled as 5 in 1 or similar).
