fish food

[The-Bubonic-One]

Hey everyone,

Gotta go grocery shopping tomorrow for frozen food. Always looking for good suggestions.
Don't need "that stuff's garbage" comments. i know which ones are better quality than others but I like a healthy mix of stuff. Any insight is great just don't want to start a brand bashing thread. Mainly looking for frozen but willing to throw another dry in the mix.


Right now I got a few things i mix/rotate in everyone's diet.


Frozen consists of: san fran bloodworms and plankton, pe mysis and cyclop eeze, nutramar ova, and was using san fran emerald entree and marine cuisine.


Dry: cyclop eeze freeze dried, ocean nutrition form 2 pellets with garlic, and reef chilli. Dry usually all soaked in selcon. Plus a nori sheet from time to time.



Livestock consists of tangs, twinspot goby, pair of clowns, bi color blenny, various shrimp, hectors goby, and a firefish.......unless i buy another fish when shopping tomorrow haha


Sorry for any typos typeing on a tablet is REAL fun.

As far as pellet foods, I started off with New Life Spectrum Marine and every fish I have had loves it. They eat it better than the frozens. I have been told by several of the people I trust and respect that it is a very good food. For a long time it was all I used but now I feed it about every third feeding +/-

My fish (and everything else) go nuts for Rods Food.

Why not some Mysis Feast, Arcti-pods, and Oyster Feast by Reef Nutrition to the rotation?

Why don't you make your own?

arcti pods I also forgot to mention I had. I tend to forget I even I have it. I feed that about once a week mainly because its out of sight out of mind.

I ended up picking up ocean nutrition formula 2 and omega one chopped shrimp.

Told you he had the kitchen sink in there but just forgot to mention it. LOL

Yep! It's a pain to find everything, but once you do you have food for a good 4-5 months. All for maybe $60 (and the next round will only be $12-15).

Same here. But then just about anything is more diverse than beer and pizza. LOL

a trip to the farmers market and $20 later, I've got frozen food for 2 months. I add selcon and garlic guard to it also and they love it.

Agreed. I add several types of pellets and seaweed into my recipe so there's more upfront expense. I roughly follow melevsreef's recipe.
