Sorry for not replying to the thread, use tinned tuna that is in brine.

Why would you feed fish fish?

It adds proteins into their diet, just like any other meat, but Rams are more likely to Tuna as a pose to other live foods like blood worms which are quite fatty an aren't very nutritious.

Unless your fish are obligate herbivores, and you have to feed them plant-based food, check the ingredients list on your can of flakes. The main ingredients is going to be fish. Fish are very nutritious for fish, and most fish in the wild will readily consume other fish. Smaller fish make up a very large portion of a great number of larger fish's diets in the wild.
