is spirulina a type of food or a live food? sorry probably being thick but i just feed flake everyday and frozen bloodworms,daphnia etc now and then..
Spirulina flake food. It can be found at most LFS.
Sure, they will survive on tropical flake, but they really need a lot of vegetable matter in their diet. Spirulina flake fed as a staple with feeding blanched shelled peas and fresh vegetables like cucumber, zucchini, and squash fed a few times a week goes a long way to their coloration and health. Only feed frozen foods 1 or 2 times a week. Live food such as daphnia, chopped earthworm, and mosquito larvae are very nutritious and should be fed like frozen foods, 1 or 2 times a week.
