Joshlikesfish Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 What bottom feeder food do people use? I found that I used my 82g packet of hikari algae wafers up in only two months. Is the 250g bag available anywhere? I cant seem to find it online in NZ. What decent food is available in large quantities? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supasi Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 `What fish are you refering to? Cories, cichlids, Plecos? I feed Tetra colour bits and Hikari gold Sinking pellets. That is for my Geos and Cupidos. I feed above and Shrimp Pellets to my L270s. I also feed JBL alage tabs for BNs Along with this I also feed live Blackworms and Grindal worms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 My cories and loaches eat anything that gets to the bottom and the loaches will come up and get food that hasn't got there yet. Today was thawed brine shrimp. Usually they get a shrimp pellet or a hikari sinking wafer and/or worms or live food. Also live squashed snails are their new favourite.

Joshlikesfish Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 `What fish are you refering to? Cories, cichlids, Plecos? Mainly cories and plecos. I've fed shrimp pellets, novo tab, novo pleco etc etc but was looking for a good bulk option. Might just go with a big packet of novo pleco for my L104/L140 and keep the meater stuff for the others. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Pets-animals/F ... 119138.htm Anybody use that? Seems too cheap to be any good for expensive fish I was also thinking about a DIY mainly vege based food for the plecs. Does anybody use something along those lines?

acara Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 You'll find that plecs will mill through any peas as well,and they don't mess up the water as much as cucumber and courgette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
