food

So I am going on holiday on for 2 weeks, I currently have 3 female guppies and 10 guppy fry in a breeder box in a 54 litre tank. I am looking for advice on feeding them both and any tips. I have bought an automatic feeder which I can set 3x a day for the fry. But was wondering about the the...

Bit confused. I have two comets, each around 2" body length in a 200l tank. I bought some sinking pellets, and the man in the shop said to feed them 4-5 pellets per fish. However, that looks like a very small amount of food compared to the size of their bodies. The instructions on the pot say...

Hi , just posting a hello. With a few questions , I recently upgraded from a 10 gallon tank to a 36 gallon. So of course I got more fish , I’ve been super into bichirs so it’s become my new focus. I bought a new one and the people at the store have been feeding him blood worms (I’ve been wanting...

I just noticed a small spider just above the water line in my 40 gal tank with African dwarf frogs in it. If the frogs can eat spiders, I am interested in feeding it to them. If not, I'll just collect the spider and put it outside. :) So does anyone know if its safe for them or if they would...

Hi all, looking to grow some little foods not fish; daphnia, scuds etc . Amazon say their breeder unit requires water at 28-30 deg C ?? I can’t have my tanks at that so how do you people breed and what are you using. Thanks Paul

He is about 5-6 years old, I've had him for around two months. In his past home, he was fed frozen blood worms, so that's what I've stuck with. He only seems to be interested in blood worms or occasionally daphnia. People online have said 2-3 times is a good amount per week. I'm assuming one...

I have a blind betta. I have to "hand" feed him with tweezers with food that is long enough that he can feel it and grab it. It's a bear to feed him frozen (defrosted of course) mysis shrimp but I read that's probably the best for the situation. When I'm going to be gone for extended periods of...

What and how often should I feed my circumcinctus? I've had him for a month now, hes about 5 years old. The past owner fed him frozen bloodworms, he loves them and so do the other fish. I have bought 5 packets of frozen daphnia which he isnt interested in at all. I'm happy just feeding him...

Hi, I have recently got a peacock eel. He lives in fresh water, not salt water. This may be controversial but hes lived in fresh water for a little over a year, he seems happy and healthy. My question is, how often should I feed him? I feed him frozen bloodworms which he loves. Google says 2 -...

Hi guys, I'm going out for 2 weeks starting in mid-August. I have nobody close enough that I can leave feeding to, and after last year's experience and reading, I've decided that, most likely; I'll just leave the fish without food. So, here's where I am: I I've started to ramp up feeding to...

It’s sad to admit but I often watch strange things on YouTube and I’m hooked on people cooking and eating ... don’t know why but it’s too late to stop and I always look at these Gumbo videos and stuff and think I want to eat that but I don’t want some watered down British version I want a propa...

Hi there, I own a feather fin syno about 7 inch long. I’m worried that he isn’t getting enough food. He usually stays in his ship all day and when I feed my other catfish he doesn’t bother moving. I’ve even tried putting food through a tube directly into the ship but doesn’t seem bothered. I’m...

Hi everyone Want to give my fish some variety in their diet apart from frozen and pellet food. Can anyone give me some fish friendly veg to give them and how to prepare it? I've heard a lot of conflicting opinions on whether certain things should be boiled. Honestly I just like giving them as...

Hi what can I feed my bladder, mini rams horns, and Mts snails? I feed them flake food but I want variety. Can I feed them broccoli or lettuce?

My tank currently had 5 corys, 2 otos and 7 neon tetras. Added a dwarf gourami a couple of days ago, a surprise gift from a family member who found out I had the tank, and thankfully it seems it's a good match for all the other fish. However, I had water sprite and some other plant I don't...

I feed grindal worm to my betta and guppy. And I feed cat’s artificial food to the grindal worm. There's no problem at all now, but I am very curious about what other people feed to their grindal worm. I will appreciate it if you would answer my question.

My new platies recently gave birth to fry. One batch was premature, but they seem to be doing fine with the exception of a couple that have died. The other batch had a couple odd balls, with a conjoined pair and a deformed one, but most of them are still alive. Thing is, they won't eat the...

Can I hatch brine shrimp live and feed them to my pea puffers alive??

I recently got pea puffers and they are tiny, I have been feeding them black worms and this one other food that is very small and orange(frozen) starts with an m I forgot the name. They will only eat the black worms I need some recommendations for food I can give them because I do not know if...

I like to treat my fish every so often with a bunch of Ghost Shrimp. These shrimp last a day at most usually. Although it looks like I have some new friends in my tank now. From my group of 30 I bought a month ago to acts as food for my fish, I counted 8 still alive this morning. At this point...

Hi there, Im relatively new to the hobby and I am wondering how much to feed my 6 peppered Cory in one tank and 7 albino (5 young) Cory in another tank. Everywhere always says what they can consume in 2-3 minutes. I do rotate but their main source of food is the hikari mini algae wafers but...

Hi guys, i recently got 3 cpds for my 10g tank (will be adding more as time goes by, i do not want any ammonia spikes). They are a really shy bunch and they hardly ever eat the food i throw into the aquarium unless it has sunk to the floor. I have noticed that if they feel like eating they will...

Hey! I've been doing a lot of research about different types of fish, tanks, filters, heaters, etc to get my first fish tank (or at least my first tank that I alone own) but struggled to find information on fish nutrition. I'm planning on keeping 2 dwarf gouramis, 2 killifish, 10 neon tetras...

Hi! So my TetraMin is almost run out and im planning to try some other brands. The problem is most of recommended brands like omega one, or xtreme, etc2 are not available in my country. After searching for some time, i finally found several options: TetraRubin, TetraTropical, and TetraPro...

Hello, this is a questions 1. Can low quality fish food cause bad health issue, can they make them die??? 2. Can changing the food cause stress? for example changing food to discus which is a very picky eater. 3. Which brand is the best in your opinions?

Hi, We've used Pisces Pros products for all of our fish, and for the few turtles we've had and I must say their products have always delivered. We've never had a fish live less then expected and they always seem to love it. I guess my questions are: What is your preferred fish food and why? Have...

Do you need to feed shrimps or do they only live on plants and uneaten food

Hello, today I bought a Betta for my aquarium and was wondering if I can feed them micro crisps by the brand tetra. It says on the side they are for all ornamental fish. Thanks .

Hi all! I have a group of baby honduran red points that are growing up. Earlier this month the smallest of them showed a lot of damage to her tail, it was basically gone, so I removed her from her siblings into my least aggressive tank. Never saw her again and I believe she died and was eaten...

I was just wandering what food I could feed my rainbow fish/future rainbow fish or maybe even any other fish that might bring out there color? Are there any fruits or vegetables that might work?

My one Betta,Bert. that I had for almost 2 years , just died and we replaced it with another Betta last week, Swim Shady. Woke up today and Shady was dead. At 1st I thought it was shock and then I realized what killed him. Every time I fed him, I would just put in the pellets and walk away...

I have a fairly happy community tank, which includes African Dwarf Frogs and Cherry Shrimp. Unfortunately the Shrimp all seem to be vanishing. I think it's a couple of reasons. Firstly, they are hiding because of the fish in the tank, and secondly because I have frogs and I have seen the...

Hey! So I've read that any fish should have a variety of food in their diet to keep them healthy, including my BGK fish. He is about 3 years old and was always eating just frozen blood worms. Anything else I put in my tank - he completely ignores it. I'm sure frozen blood worms are his favorite...
