Is this food good for my oscar fish?

Posted on January 22, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

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.

Feeding fish frozen food?

Posted on November 20, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I have always given my fish a variety and recently tried frozen (about a month ago). The kind I have is a ‘Freshwater Variety Pack’ which contains bloodworms, baby brine shrimp, krill, and spiranela. The fish I have in my tank are: angelfish, clown loach, pristilla tetras, rams, hatchetfish. I believe the angelfish is eating the frozen food, but I don’t see any of my other ones eating. This is my fourth attempt (at first I thought that may just need to get used to it.) I believe I am following feeding instructions correctly: Take frozen cube and place in a cup with tank water – I wait about 10 minutes, stir it up, break it up with my fingers and pour it in. I have been hearing a lot of great things about the frozen food but mine don’t seem to eat it. They love the freeze dried blood worms, tubifix worms, brine shrimp, etc. I’m just trying to give my fish the healthiest diet possible and want to add frozen once a week. Any suggestions? Thank you

Pellet train a fish…?

Posted on September 18, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I bought needlefish a while back. At the store he only ate feeders. I attempted to starve him. I waited three days and he ate nothing so I gave him feeders. After he was well adjusted I tried again and its like he doesnt even notice the pellets floating there. Then I tried some frozen brine shrimp. Waited 3 days without feeders, put the frozen brine shrimp in, not only did he ignore it but actually swam away from it. Now I haven’t put feeders in for a day and the last time I did I dont think he got any so it’s probably been about 3 or 4 days but I know for sure atleast a day. I put some frozen krill into the tank with no results again. He just let it go right by him. Any suggestions how to get him to eat frozen food?

picky puffer?

Posted on July 27, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

I have had a figure 8 puffer for about a month now, and all he will eat is live ghost shrimp, feeder guppies, and frozen krill. I have tried everything else; daphnia, brine shrimp, blood worms, etc. Nothing works! he just turns his nose! Its so frustrating because not only are his favourite foods more expensive and more difficult to keep around, but I want to make sure he has a varied diet, but he does not agree with that! Does anyone know of anything else I can feed him, or any way I can make other foods more enticing to him? Thanks so much!
Oh, and I forgot, he also OCCASIONALLY will eat live snails.
If I breed guppies for him, should I breed fancy guppies or feeder guppies? (he enjoys both very much lol )
