you all prolly dont care but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Warren Oakley thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
My jaw dropped when you said you go through a huge can of flakes within a few days. Even with that many tanks I would have guessed at least two weeks. Crazy! I never thought about how much food a large fish room would go through. I have 4 tanks- a 60 gallon, a 55, a 20H, and a 10 gallon. I feed 4-5 different foods, so sometimes I am throwing food out for being old before I even get past 3/4 of the bag. Although, as shocked as I was at hearing how much fish food you go through, some people are shocked at how much dog food I go through. I breed Olde English Bulldogges and Bullmastiffs. Their food bill could rent an apartment in some areas of the country 😂
Variety is the spice of life. I have two cold water aquariums with small fish. They have a regular flake and a small flake. I feed small amounts every other day. On the in-between days I give them...on a rota:- Hard boiled egg yolk ... boiled, SKINNED peas and broad beans... frozen blood worms ... carrot slices, boiled and occasionally boiled cucumber slices. Some nibble away at algae... They love everything I offer them, they are happy, dorsal fins always up.
Oh, and yes the Omega One algae wafers have the very best ingredients. Almost every fish I have likes them. I crush some up for easier access to more fish, especially the smaller fish. My large severums eat the wafers whole, if I dont break them up. Agree totally with your opinion on them, best you can buy and the fish love it.
I agree 100 percent with the way you feed you're fish and also i been in the hobby 40 plus years and i have never ever feed live fish to my fish and never would. to risky like you said and for humane reasons sounds corny but i love my fish and have respect for all life. Good video take care and god bless!
I found this video to be very informative, and it shows how a good variety of foods for your fish can be a good thing, Anyone with a fish room would certainly save money by purchasing the larger tubs but for the hobbyist with just a few tanks there are the much smaller options. Paul in the UK.
Jason, I've used Hikari before but notice that the ingredients - 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th ingredients are all terrestrial grains/plants - wheat flour, flaked corn, wheat starch -- and also uses artificial color (red #3). Have been trying to use foods without artificial color and less, if any, terrestrial plant material as filler. Great video!
I would love to hear if you see any noticeable difference breeding or longevity after the switch. I haven't yet, but that could just be based on the fish I've been keeping.
Didn't realize this video is from 4yr back until I was done watching. Doesn't matter, good info is good info! I've never tried repashi but think I I'll give it a try soon. I fully understood all the food sizes and fish types to feed each with. But especially appreciated the comments about using feeder fish or locally sourced live foods. I don't believe most hobbyists would've thought about these sources not being in best health, having parasites, or having other illnesses. Thanks for the words of wisdom as a preventative measure. Have a great day!
Tetra has some good products. I feed a couple of their preparations, on a rotating basis with other quality foods, throughout the fish rooms. A good variety and balance, as you said, is key to healthy fish. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks.
I'm only feeding Tetra tropical flakes and Fluval Bug Bites. I also have some dried bloodworms and shrimp that I feed on the weekends.. I keep it simple. I work long days, and need to make it simple as possible when I get home. Thanks for sharing.
It's interesting how fish react to different foods from the same company. I also use the omega one veggie rounds, fish and shrimp love them. Omega one flakes? Won't touch it. Ended up feeding it to my assassin snails. Half of my tanks get Cobalt Mysis Spirulina flakes: the fish in those tanks absolutely love it, but the fish in the community tank don't, they prefer the Aqueon Tropical flakes. Northfin pellets are received well by the fish large enough to eat them. Bug Bites are a winner all around.
I have the same thing. Some of my fish won't eat NLS pellets while most devour them. I also bought some really expensive flake food only to watch it all go uneaten. Crazy how that happens.
I love the Repashy foods! I keep it in glas yars in the freezer, lasts for months! And you can really mix the different kinds as you please. Smells a bit like... well, fishfood - but the fish absolutely love it!
Nice overview. I would like to get your take on the ingredients in the foods you talked about. Ratios, quality, fillers, etc. I too feed variety because no one food can be everything to every fish. Variety helps fill in the gaps, IMO. Thanks.
This guy knows his stuff! There’s a lot of bs on CZcams about best foods and I have bought a lot of these so called high end brands that turned out to be crap and what new fish keepers do not realise is these companies like tetra have been making fish food for 70 years and hikari 100 years they know their stuff and their food does exactly what it says on the tub! I’ve got 10 year old cichlids that have eaten nothing else never been sick and great colours!
Have 7 female bettas with Rasboras and cories and they like frozen bloodworms, Omega flakes and Bug Bites...so far they seem to like it...always worry that they all got fed though...feed lightly twice a day too..
Ocean nutrition discus flakes are a favorites for all my tropical sand fancy goldfish too. Mix it with omega one veggie flakes and then use repeshy gel food and frozen blood worms and brine shrimp along with steamed peas for good digestion. Fish eat well.
Just subscribed. Watched a couple of your videos and found them really informative. Love your work. Keep up the great work, you are helping newbies everywhere.
So many great options out there! My African cichlids seem to do great on Ron's cichlid, Sera and some mysis and brine shrimp. I would like to try some of the cobalt flakes as well.
Great video, thank you for sharing! I’ll have to give the Tetra flakes a try. As you said, the cost doesn’t matter if they will not eat it. Northfin isn’t a “cheap” food, the ingredients look great, but my fish simply don’t like it. I look forward to part 2 of this video. Take care 😊🐠
Great video!! I am new to fish keeping and am learning as I go. I started out with a betta the beginning of this year. I now have 7 tanks and have enjoyed adding different species of fish to my tanks. I too use the tetra flakes and have had good luck with them. I use rapashy and bloodworms. I recently purchased 3 figure 8 puffers. I buy frozen silversides, Krill and shrimp. I am going to see if I can start some snails breeding so that I have a supply for them to eat. My LFS told me they were freshwater fish. Everything I have read says they are brackish. I started transitioning them over from fresh to brackish with my water changes. Thank you for your valuable information. Keep it up, I’m still learning. :)
Wow what a video ! Very detailed. ..good fish need good and healthy food. .sometimes it costs a little more but your fishes are a lot more helthier (?is that write right? ).My fishes are so strong..and yes it is my proud to see them in that beautyful colours. ..thx for the video
My sister has had a beta and know that I found ur channel I feel so bad for him I’m going to get a beta to but I’ll feed it with tetra and won’t get multiple fish until I get more experience with being a fish owner :D
Thanks for the video, you have me reading all the ingredient labels on my fish food. the Omega one and HIKARI have been good choices, I will change my Alge tabs to a different brand. I didn't know african cichilds liked snails, do you have a recommendation on a spieces of snail, size and how often to feed them. thanks again I've enjoyed many of your videos, and look forward to more.
Hello, I really enjoyed watching your videos and I learn a lot from you. You are the most knowledgeable and honest creator of fish hobbyist videos! I am just a beginner with only one 36 gallons aquarium with platys. By the way, if you happen to know where I can purchase healthy, colorful platys online, please let me know. Be well and stay safe. John ( Jean-Pierre, I am a native Frenchman ! )
Nice to be able to come back to a video like this and get some insight. I just got some stendker discus and want them to be healthy. Good info thanks. I dont care for fish predation myself....
I do love my snails and don't enjoy watching my fish eat snails, but I understand how much fish find them delicious. And my snails can chow down all day on unsalted canned green beans. In fact, I think it might be the only reason for French cut green beans' existence! 😜 Thanks for the great video and solid recommendations!
Our common pleco, guppies and mystery snails love Bug Bites Pleco Formula. Also rotate lots of other foods, including freeze dried black Soldier Fly larve, sold as chicken feed. As a LRB fan, of course I have Tetra Tropical Granules. 😂
Love this!! So informative and helpful. I don't think that clip does that size of you food freezer justice...thing was massive lol Awesome video, thanks for sharing!!
I have discovered my bettas love fresh spinach, as do my mystery snails. My snails also love broccoli florets & carrot slices. I also feed my snails snail jello which my bettas like also. My bettas eat aqueon betta pellets, fluval bug bites for small fish, freeze dried blood worms, & tetra betta flakes. My snails also get aqueon herbivore shrimp tablets (smallest algae tablet ever & almost all plants), & tetramin tropical tablets (good calcium sources in the product though calcium itself is not listed on nutrients). They go straight for both those & usually sit on them till they're gone or full, depending on their size.
The normal store-bought large last you a few days.... AYE CARAMBA!!!! You have more frozen fish food than most fish stores. My favorite brands for dry food are NLS and Omega - actually the only two I buy... oh, and now bug bites - fish go crazy for them! Everyone goes crazy for canned green beans - especially shrimp!!! Great video!
I feed my fish twice a day. Morning is a 50/50 mix of NLS and Omega One pellets (NLS Algae max for cichlid tanks). At night they get either pellets again or a frozen (brine shrimp, mysis, krill.) My exodons (bucktooth tetras) get pellet mix in AM and beef heart in the pm. The beef heart i get from local butcher and slice it up and chop in food processors. I am not a fan of any food that the ingredients say 'meal' after the item.
Amazing video - very informative. Was looking for the second part on the channel but couldn't find it. Would really be interested in how you feed each of those foods to particular tanks. Particularly how you feed tank you showed in this video - with mix of large and small fish.
I thought I was feeding a variety but compared to what you're doing... I'm bad at my job. I stick to Hikari for the most part, but not exclusively. I use the Hikari Sinking Carnivore and Hikari Sinking Gold pellets for the bottom feeders and the Hikari Bio-Gold+ and the Hikari Gold floating pellets and then some Ocean Nutrition Formula One & Two flake for the surface feeders. I also use a Hikari frozen Bloodworm cube every night for my fire eel. I have 5 tanks, one of which (29) is empty and doubles as a quarantine/hospital tank, two are grow out tanks (40g & 55g) and two are display tanks (75g & 210g). I've been doing this for nearly half a century and I still have so many questions I feel like a newb listening to you.
I feed my fishes NorthFin brand flood and Bug Bites. Those Two brand have great ingredients, different varieties and have a great price. I do feed my fry, Fry starter from NorthFin and some Frozen cyclopods. So far my dwarf cichlids, my cichlids, and other fishes are thriving.....
Hi Jason. Could you please suggest a high fiber food for my discus? I tried one suggested by a LFS employee that stick to the inside glass. They won’t eat it. This has been a thorn in my side to find a good high fiber food. My discus are all adults. Suggestions PLEASE. Thanks.
AMAZING video subscribed riiight away after few videos!! Your straight to the point and love it VERY intelligent! With my question hopefully ANYONE can answer my question... I have a community tank going right now....I have a Leopard ctenopoma, rainbows, Molly's, guppies, Cory's, and a Kuhli Loach and trying to get the Kuhli Loach and Cory's to eat is harder.... Suggestions ANYONE reading this??
Hi everyone and Primetime aquatics. Firstly thank you very much for sharing this wonderful video. As I am a complete newbie and just bought first few fish yesterday for my 70 litre Juwel primo tank aquarium which I had setup for nearly 1 year but had no fish till yesterday late evening/ night around 6pm- 8pm or so. The fish are very tiny 3 Rasbora fish and 2 tiny catfish or as some may call pleco fish. I was just wondering when would be appropriate to start feeding the fish? Any useful information about this would be very helpful/ useful. Thank you, Tom from UK.
I buy a bunch of different sinking food pellets both vegetable and meaty and then grind them down to the size I need them to be and mix them together. And then I load it into automatic feeders. Im running feeders because I dont particularly want my fish to associate me with food. (I know. Im crazy) So a given fish might get meaty bits one day and veggie bits the next but over a month it gets a pretty varied diet. I mostly keep small bottomfeeders (loaches/cats/shrimp) and naturally they would be opportunistic feeding on whatever comes their way. I try to mimic the natural feeding habits and also keep them accostumed to eating different things. The feeders are tactically placed to drop the food dirrectly into the outflow from my filtration so it gets blown all around the tank and promptly settles at the bottom. Im planning to set up a system where I can keep infusoria/copepods/daphnia/etc in a seperate tank and just have it gently overflow into my main display.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics Thanks :D Only been in the hobby about 2 and a half years. I quickly found I liked bottomfeeders the most and came up with the feeding strategy to make sure food would actually get down to my favorites. As Ive learned more about fish and their natural diets Ive tried to adapt to make their experience alittle more authentic having to scavange all over the tank instead of the food dropping in a certain spot when the big monster(me) opens the tank lid.
my fish go mental for hikari micro pellets, I even take a mortar and pestle and grind it into a blend for live bearer fry. I have repashy's *morning wood* for my clown plecostomus but it's so popular with mollies and platies I usually have to add a couple cubes at a time for there to be anything left, and the omega one algae wafers have top notch ingredients, idk what it is but my mollies like the cheaper "algae" wafers that turn into a cloud of goop better, idk if they're just a cheap date or what)( the only food you talked about I haven't tried is the new life spectrum sinking pellet, and the only thing I use that wasn't touched on in some way is; I have hikari sinking crab pellets just for my mystery snails, but it's popular with the live bearers to pick at idk if it's the added calcium or if it's just tasty
Hi Jason, I enjoyed this video! It was also nice meeting you at Aquarium Adventures last weekend. I was surprised that Northfin and Piscine Mysis Pellets are not part of your arsenal .i was just curious if you had issues with these two brands? Anyways, thanks very much for sharing 👍.
Hey Denny! It was great meeting you too. I've generally just stuck with what works. I haven't tried the foods you've mentioned. With 60 tanks I have to balance cost and nutrition with what my fish will eat.
I tried feeding green beans and all my fish ignored. The snails took it down and the shrimps only looked at it once the green bean took in some water and grew a bit.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics I will have a look for it, thank you. How about those floating pellets couldn't you use one of them in a small fish tank & let the smaller fish nibble on it?
I am currently using nls thera a and algae max. They are great food. The only thing i have noticed is that they do cause the water to be cloudy. My fish comsume all in less than 30 sec. Their poops become very powdery. The fish do look very healthy though.

You mean Bill Burr's twin?
More like Triple H
@@arandomguy9756 hahahahaha
I enjoyed this video, it’s not a promo for foods most people sell just honest reviews appreciate it!
Variety is the spice of life. I have two cold water aquariums with small fish. They have a regular flake and a small flake. I feed small amounts every other day. On the in-between days I give them...on a rota:-
Hard boiled egg yolk ... boiled, SKINNED peas and broad beans... frozen blood worms ... carrot slices, boiled and occasionally boiled cucumber slices.
Some nibble away at algae...
They love everything I offer them, they are happy, dorsal fins always up.
Oh, and yes the Omega One algae wafers have the very best ingredients. Almost every fish I have likes them. I crush some up for easier access to more fish, especially the smaller fish. My large severums eat the wafers whole, if I dont break them up. Agree totally with your opinion on them, best you can buy and the fish love it.
I agree 100 percent with the way you feed you're fish and also i been in the hobby 40 plus years and i have never ever feed live fish to my fish and never would. to risky like you said and for humane reasons sounds corny but i love my fish and have respect for all life. Good video take care and god bless!
I feel the same but most fish food is made from other life and we’ll never know how they were treated prior to becoming fish food
I found this video to be very informative, and it shows how a good variety of foods for your fish can be a good thing, Anyone with a fish room would certainly save money by purchasing the larger tubs but for the hobbyist with just a few tanks there are the much smaller options. Paul in the UK.
That clunk you just heard was a bucket of tetra flakes my wife just found in the freezer bouncing off my head!
I'm a big fan of Omega One foods and Repashy, as well as the Sera O-nip tabs.
Jason, I've used Hikari before but notice that the ingredients - 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th ingredients are all terrestrial grains/plants - wheat flour, flaked corn, wheat starch -- and also uses artificial color (red #3). Have been trying to use foods without artificial color and less, if any, terrestrial plant material as filler. Great video!
I would love to hear if you see any noticeable difference breeding or longevity after the switch. I haven't yet, but that could just be based on the fish I've been keeping.
Northfin pellets are a great food..
Didn't realize this video is from 4yr back until I was done watching. Doesn't matter, good info is good info! I've never tried repashi but think I I'll give it a try soon.

Tetra has some good products. I feed a couple of their preparations, on a rotating basis with other quality foods, throughout the fish rooms. A good variety and balance, as you said, is key to healthy fish. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks.
Cool! Thank you!
I feed all mine the same flakes putting it in the freezer I never thought thanks you have so much knowledge love the prime time 😉
I'm only feeding Tetra tropical flakes and Fluval Bug Bites. I also have some dried bloodworms and shrimp that I feed on the weekends.. I keep it simple. I work long days, and need to make it simple as possible when I get home. Thanks for sharing.
That's a great point too. Sometimes it's easier to feed out flakes and pellets than some of the other foods.
It's interesting how fish react to different foods from the same company. I also use the omega one veggie rounds, fish and shrimp love them.
Omega one flakes? Won't touch it. Ended up feeding it to my assassin snails.
Half of my tanks get Cobalt Mysis Spirulina flakes: the fish in those tanks absolutely love it, but the fish in the community tank don't, they prefer the Aqueon Tropical flakes.
Northfin pellets are received well by the fish large enough to eat them.

I was so happy to see that you had a video on this because I knew I could learn valid knowledge from watching it.
I love the Repashy foods! I keep it in glas yars in the freezer, lasts for months!
And you can really mix the different kinds as you please. Smells a bit like... well, fishfood - but the fish absolutely love it!
I mix it too sometimes! : -)
Such a good video for my college work! I find aquatics so interesting, thank you :)
Thanks for watching!
Nice overview. I would like to get your take on the ingredients in the foods you talked about. Ratios, quality, fillers, etc.
I too feed variety because no one food can be everything to every fish. Variety helps fill in the gaps, IMO.
Thanks.
That's a great idea for another video! : -)
Definitely changing my fish food to tetramin plus. Hopefully you get sponsored by some of these fish food companies XD
Gerson - I wouldn’t really like if he got sponsorship form the food company’s as that could bias his future reviews

Ya, it works well for us in combination with the other foods we feed. I haven’t tried Northfin, so I’m not sure how my fish would respond.

Our common pleco, guppies and mystery snails love Bug Bites Pleco Formula. Also rotate lots of other foods, including freeze dried black Soldier Fly larve, sold as chicken feed. As a LRB fan, of course I have Tetra Tropical Granules. 😂
I love how LRB feeds those things to almost everything - but you can't argue the results. : -)
Very good summary and choice of food. Thumbs up

Great information. Very interesting indeed.

I like repashy. Doesn't stay in the tank for long. Cories really like it. Omega one goldfish pellets are good too.
My fish attack it too!
Xtreme nano pellets are my favorite.
The normal store-bought large last you a few days.... AYE CARAMBA!!!!
You have more frozen fish food than most fish stores.
My favorite brands for dry food are NLS and Omega - actually the only two I buy... oh, and now bug bites - fish go crazy for them!
Everyone goes crazy for canned green beans - especially shrimp!!!
Great video!
My wife's text was interesting when she got home before me and asked where I wanted the 30lbs of frozen food I ordered. Haha
I use Cobalt spirulina flakes and omega wafers for the bottom feeders
Great video and solid info! I feed several of the same foods. My fish really like most of the Cobalt flake foods as well.
I’ve fed that as well. Fish are it up!
I feed my fish twice a day. Morning is a 50/50 mix of NLS and Omega One pellets (NLS Algae max for cichlid tanks). At night they get either pellets again or a frozen (brine shrimp, mysis, krill.)

Those are good foods!
My silver arowana loves the omega one vegetable rounds! Loves them
That's cool! Never thought about that. : -)
Really nice info. Thanks Jason, Happy Diwali
My two foods that are a staple... frozen peas(deshelled) and imitation crab meat!!
Very nice video .northfin cichlid is also a good option for African cichlids
Who downvotes great vids like this one?
Non mentioned brand
This isn't reddit bud!
Definitely should have started with the emergency broadcast line lol.
My Bristlenose goes crazy for spinach and he'll eat a lot of cucumber as well.
Very cool!

Nice tats dude
Great info, thank you! 👍
Very informative, nicely done Jason!
Thank you! Appreciate it
Amazing video - very informative. Was looking for the second part on the channel but couldn't find it. Would really be interested in how you feed each of those foods to particular tanks.
Particularly how you feed tank you showed in this video - with mix of large and small fish.
I really need to get that done! : -)
I thought I was feeding a variety but compared to what you're doing... I'm bad at my job. I stick to Hikari for the most part, but not exclusively. I use the Hikari Sinking Carnivore and Hikari Sinking Gold pellets for the bottom feeders and the Hikari Bio-Gold+ and the Hikari Gold floating pellets and then some Ocean Nutrition Formula One & Two flake for the surface feeders. I also use a Hikari frozen Bloodworm cube every night for my fire eel.
I have 5 tanks, one of which (29) is empty and doubles as a quarantine/hospital tank, two are grow out tanks (40g & 55g) and two are display tanks (75g & 210g). I've been doing this for nearly half a century and I still have so many questions I feel like a newb listening to you.
Whip's World as long as the fish are eating!
I feed my fishes NorthFin brand flood and Bug Bites. Those Two brand have great ingredients, different varieties and have a great price.
I do feed my fry, Fry starter from NorthFin and some Frozen cyclopods.
So far my dwarf cichlids, my cichlids, and other fishes are thriving.....
Awesome!
zucchini and green beans have fouled my water now i only give veggies once a week for plecos, on a day before a water change.
I just got a fire eel and it is so cool and cute
Awesome!
So many good choices for food! Can't wait to try those algae wafers from Omega one.
I think you will like them!
A Gamer's Wife they are the best
Great info gonna share it on the group page.
Thank you!
Hi Jason. Could you please suggest a high fiber food for my discus? I tried one suggested by a LFS employee that stick to the inside glass. They won’t eat it. This has been a thorn in my side to find a good high fiber food. My discus are all adults. Suggestions PLEASE. Thanks.
The first thing that came to mind was Repashy? Maybe some of the algae-based varieties? Not sure if they will eat it though.
Thanks Jason. 🐠😃
wow very very helpful video thank you
Thank you!
This is awesome. Thank you ♥️
You have gained a subscriber . Lovely explanation
Thanks for being here!
Thanks for sharing. Can I feed freeze dried oceanic plankton to guppies and tetras?
Sure
Mine like hikari and Cobalt the best
Great video I use northfin for my firemouths
Cool!
AMAZING video subscribed riiight away after few videos!! Your straight to the point and love it VERY intelligent! With my question hopefully ANYONE can answer my question... I have a community tank going right now....I have a Leopard ctenopoma, rainbows, Molly's, guppies, Cory's, and a Kuhli Loach and trying to get the Kuhli Loach and Cory's to eat is harder.... Suggestions ANYONE reading this??
Frozen blood worms and frozen brine shrimp - they both usually go crazy for it - as will your ctenopoma!
Hi everyone and Primetime aquatics. Firstly thank you very much for sharing this wonderful video. As I am a complete newbie and just bought first few fish yesterday for my 70 litre Juwel primo tank aquarium which I had setup for nearly 1 year but had no fish till yesterday late evening/ night around 6pm- 8pm or so. The fish are very tiny 3 Rasbora fish and 2 tiny catfish or as some may call pleco fish. I was just wondering when would be appropriate to start feeding the fish? Any useful information about this would be very helpful/ useful.
Thank you,
Tom from UK.
I usually try to feed them a small amount later in the day after they have had a chance to settle in.
I buy a bunch of different sinking food pellets both vegetable and meaty and then grind them down to the size I need them to be and mix them together. And then I load it into automatic feeders. Im running feeders because I dont particularly want my fish to associate me with food. (I know. Im crazy)
So a given fish might get meaty bits one day and veggie bits the next but over a month it gets a pretty varied diet. I mostly keep small bottomfeeders (loaches/cats/shrimp) and naturally they would be opportunistic feeding on whatever comes their way. I try to mimic the natural feeding habits and also keep them accostumed to eating different things.
The feeders are tactically placed to drop the food dirrectly into the outflow from my filtration so it gets blown all around the tank and promptly settles at the bottom.
Im planning to set up a system where I can keep infusoria/copepods/daphnia/etc in a seperate tank and just have it gently overflow into my main display.
You've a nice feeding strategy!
@@PrimeTimeAquatics Thanks :D
Only been in the hobby about 2 and a half years. I quickly found I liked bottomfeeders the most and came up with the feeding strategy to make sure food would actually get down to my favorites.
As Ive learned more about fish and their natural diets Ive tried to adapt to make their experience alittle more authentic having to scavange all over the tank instead of the food dropping in a certain spot when the big monster(me) opens the tank lid.
Very informative video! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I can only buy one kind.but mu wife shop some spinaca boiled and they seem to like it
my fish go mental for hikari micro pellets, I even take a mortar and pestle and grind it into a blend for live bearer fry. I have repashy's *morning wood* for my clown plecostomus but it's so popular with mollies and platies I usually have to add a couple cubes at a time for there to be anything left, and the omega one algae wafers have top notch ingredients, idk what it is but my mollies like the cheaper "algae" wafers that turn into a cloud of goop better, idk if they're just a cheap date or what)( the only food you talked about I haven't tried is the new life spectrum sinking pellet, and the only thing I use that wasn't touched on in some way is; I have hikari sinking crab pellets just for my mystery snails, but it's popular with the live bearers to pick at idk if it's the added calcium or if it's just tasty
Nice - you feed a great variety!
Nice. Thanks for the info.
Hi Jason, I enjoyed this video! It was also nice meeting you at Aquarium Adventures last weekend. I was surprised that Northfin and Piscine Mysis Pellets are not part of your arsenal .i was just curious if you had issues with these two brands? Anyways, thanks very much for sharing 👍.
Hey Denny! It was great meeting you too. I've generally just stuck with what works. I haven't tried the foods you've mentioned. With 60 tanks I have to balance cost and nutrition with what my fish will eat.
I can't stop looking at your arms! Thanks!
I only feed bug bites fish love it :)
My mum bought me the king' British cold water fish flakes and I've found my oranda has got black patches on her Ive now gone back to aquarian
Mine get a cube of some sort of frozen food (mysis, brine, blood worms, daphnia), and repashy superfoods
Nice mix!
I tried feeding green beans and all my fish ignored. The snails took it down and the shrimps only looked at it once the green bean took in some water and grew a bit.
I’ve just found that my danios and goldfish like blanched kale! Had less luck with cucumber.
That's cool!
I bought a big bag of northfin foods from veggies and two other bags and my ciclhds don’t even eat it. I’m just stuck with the Brian shrimp
How about how you prepare things like brine shrimp? Also can't you break down some of the larger foods for the smaller fish?
I have an older video about how to hatch live baby brine?
@@PrimeTimeAquatics I will have a look for it, thank you. How about those floating pellets couldn't you use one of them in a small fish tank & let the smaller fish nibble on it?
I saw a pea being fed to some guppies & they were going mad for it. Surprised me!
I am currently using nls thera a and algae max. They are great food. The only thing i have noticed is that they do cause the water to be cloudy. My fish comsume all in less than 30 sec. Their poops become very powdery. The fish do look very healthy though.
IamA Narcissist appreciate you sharing!
