What I feed my babies
What I feed my babies
I don't want the same thing everyday. I think a variety is good for them as well. I also feed worms, shrimp and, frozen spirulina along with these foods. I never give my mbuna's meat or real high protien food.

wow roger 5 star restaurant at your house.. i mix my pellets up with flake as well,alternate days and worms rarely, pet shop rarely gets them... silly question high protein in mbunas causes problems what is it.. my et shop guy told me to feed them protein once a week or more.. some of my rescue fish were a bit skinny in the belly ..

We set it up buffet style.Kyle ha ha
Yes Scott it is. they love it. Kylie mbunas can get malawi bloat from to much protien. I try to keep mine on veggie diet. My pics let you know how it works. They are fat.

Danny we posted at the same time about the same thing LOL!

No one sells it around here. A friend ordered the stuff from Ken's and gave it to me to try. I would try nls, but can't find it.

Nice selection of food. However, I have a question. I see some Wardley products. I heard that Wardley is a cheap brand of food not very good for fish. Like its the lowest quality of food you can buy. I feed my fish Omega One, TetraCichlid, Hikari, and some other stuff.

Nice choices overall roger. I use the NLS pellets and spirulina flakes and my Fronts LOVE it especially. I get the NLS on ebay at a reasonable cost.
Roger Hopper » posted 2008/01/16 - 03:29  
It came from a big box of stuff I got from the lfs Mark, not something I buy daily. I feed mostly omega one products, I was not going to throw it away. I bought 5 boxes of stuff for 20.00 hard to pass up.lol

None of our fish like new life spectrum except the piranah. It is really good food, but they wont eat it.
***kylie *** » posted 2008/01/16 - 04:14

harvick fan » posted 2008/01/16 - 04:22
tried nls with mine too when i first got them , didnt like it and went with hikari and WARDLEY cichlid flakes , which is a decent food . look at my fish and tell me the combo isnt working.
Joe & Christie » posted 2008/01/16 - 04:27  
Cichlid formula, we bought it for the Flowerhorn, Oscars and Fronts. Tried and tried they just never took to it. The pirahna loved it, tetra's or not :)

Patty, lets nothing in our house go hungry.. lol She probably feeds to much, but she loves them. I have to watch or I would be huge. She says I clean the tanks nobody needs to tell her how to feed my fish.
harvick fan » posted 2008/01/16 - 04:46  
have tried africans wont take it , fed it to the jd tho who eats everything , but i'll still stick with hikari
Joe & Christie » posted 2008/01/16 - 04:49  
Too expensive to vacuum up. It did a really nice job on Joe's pirahna.
