    Is that what you're feeding currently? If so, how often of each type?

    Or are you asking which is the best to feed?

      Although I feed mine the standard algea discs....the only thing I ever see mine eating is cucumbers or zuchinni.....Mine are growing pretty slow too....although, I have seen tiny BN fry once....they didn't last long though...

        algae wafers everynight, once the light is off, i drop 2 in, there are 5 1 inch long in a 46 gallon, everymorning about 20 mins after the light comes on, i feed flake, I feed flake again around noon, and brine shrimp/blood worms every evening about 6 or so.....

        the tank also has a clown loach, 4 balloon body platties, and a bunch of lyre tailed silver/black mollies.

        so i feed a lot....

        i just want to know if there is anything else that I can add, I am starting to add squash or zuchini today

          Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
          Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

            I highly recommend shrimp pellets. I wouldn't fed much brine shrimp or blood worms, but that is just me. Some will also eat sweet potato slices, frozen green peas, frozen green beans,etc.
