Low protein food, for fish of course

[suicune]

trying to balance out the diet for my fish tank.... Does anyone has a suggestion for a low protein/less meaty food type? any good brand? sinking mini pellet preferably. I hate smashing big pellets, they fly everywhere.

I also want to try out those spirulina food for my tank.

Dainichi Veggie FX, Dainichi Veggie Deluxe...

What fish are you trying to feed?

[suicune]

three tanks: goldfish, neon tetras, rainbow, and bettas.

They've been eating peas, cobalt aqua flakes, shrimp pellets, and algae wafers.

I especially hates the algae wafers, they looks really messy and ugly. I need something smaller than the omegaone shrimp pellets so I dont have to smash them out every time I try to feed the neon tetras.

Just feed them any of the two above, "baby" size, or 1.5mm NLS

it says they're cichlid food. are they good for other types? I'll check them out

Re: Low protein food, for fish of course

Most "low protein" foods tend to be geared for African Cichlids

you have any experience with Spirulina fishfood?

Re: Low protein food, for fish of course

I'd say just a little bit

I heard some good things about it but never tried them, any opinion on spirulina?

Re: Low protein food, for fish of course

Spirulina is like Frank's Red Hot



Well, more accurately, I feed it to all my fish.

okay I took your suggestion and ordered spirulina and those dainichi!!

Re: Low protein food, for fish of course

When you say you ordered spirulina, what did you order?

[suicune]

cobalt aquatic spirulina sinking pellets - 1/16''
I like that brand.

Re: Low protein food, for fish of course

That's good stuff too. Oh, I also feed New Era Rift Lake Green pellets

[suicune]

okay I'll try them out. Just want some other veggie diet for more fiber in the fish diet. I've been feeding them boiled pea.
