I have tropical fish – Platies and Mollies. I currently feed them TetraMin flakes, but I’ve heard that it may be a good idea to supplement with brine shrimp or something of the like. Is this something I should be doing? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

right now i have three neon tetras, a pregnant female assorted guppy, and an algae eater. i currently use just normal freshwater fish food, and betta food. since my guppy is having babies, i need to get some brine shrimp, just wondering if the rest of my fish can eat it as their regular diet?

I used to feed him a diet of krill/brine shrimp and oscar grow. now that he’s about 8 inches i just bought HBH oscar SHOW and some meal worms for a varied diet. Is oscar show good for them? i plan to breed meal worms to keep him fed till the day he dies. so are meal worms a good choice? if not which food do you suggest? he’s had HITH before when i fed him feeder fish quite a lot of months ago so don’t suggest feeder fish!
oh i still feedd him krill and brine shrimp as well for a little variety i tried meal worms. i highly doubt any of the horror stories of meal worms would happen to me because they usually drown to death before he actually eats them. or i drown them myself.

Ok so i have had my betta for about a month and have been feeding him 3-4 freeze dried bloodworms. I was thinking about purchasing some brine shrimp. Would this be a good idea? Also, is it true that it is good to fast them? And if so how often?

I will be raising some Brine Shrimp for my Betta. How big should they be and how much should I give to my fish? Should they be live or dead? (If dead, how can I humanely kill them?) This is in addition to regular Betta food and bloodworms from time to time.
I know you have to give a pea once a week, but should this be the whole meal or just an extra?
I’ve also read you should fast your Betta once a week to prevent constipation. I don’t know, it sounds a little iffy to me. Should I really just not feed him for one day, or maybe can I just give him half as much as I normally would?
Thank you in advance! If you have any other information on the proper food for Bettas, I’d appreciate it.
