my fish want new FOOD

[arj]

Can anyone suggest some new foods for my fish (see signature). At the moment we're feeding flakes and little pellets, but I don't think the fish are getting enough nutrients and stuff from them; recently they've been looking a bit weak.

Try bloodworm ,brine shrimp and daphnia even algae waffers and a good quality pellet.

same as ryo.

livebearers are mostly omnivorous

they should be ok on flake and pellets for tropical fish but bloodworms, brine shrimp, zuchini, romaine lettuce, algea pellets will all be nutritious and tatsy for them!!

So apart from Lettuce and zukini/cucumber, what other fresh fruit and veg do fish like to eat (I'm sure flakes and pellets must get boring!).

My tank contains:

2 Clown Loaches
1 Pl*co
and several Mollies (they wont stop mating - randy little devils!)

Should I get dry bloodworms or frozen, or what?

 

[Erised]

frozen bloodworms are a lot better than anything freeze/dried so always go for frozen

Thanks

You probably know this already but take care not to overfeed. Live/frozen foods will foul the tank water quickly if uneaten.
