GrahamC Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Is there a rating of the various flake manufacturers out there? Or are they all fairly bioequivalent. I ask as I bought some VitaPet tropical fish flake while I was at New World and the angelfishh and gourami ignore it or spit it out! I then bought some Tetramin tropical flakes and they seem to love this stuff. Is it because they were raised on one brand? Or is it some other factor?

ryanjury Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Nutrafin max is one of my fav flakes and the fish seem to love it and go well on it I think it is like anything you get what you pay for, I have found the cheap flakes to be quite hard and thick and the fish don't seem to like them as much, they would also have cheaper ingredients.

tjc Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Absolutely you get what you pay for, totally agree Not long ago i bought a kg of spirulina flake from trademe fed fish a small ammount of this evry 3rd day, feeding them there regular nls daily and within 2 weeks all my tanks were a horrible green it even stained the filter wool and talk me weeks of water changes to put right.
