Miz Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi I'm still a fish noob. I was wondering, presuming fish are like other animals and the better food you feed them, the better they do etc. What are the better fish foods for both cold water and tropical tanks? Currently, I have only got a cold water (goldfish) tank set up, but once I move house I plan on setting up my tropical. Currently, from my observations, they poop heaps if fed aqua one food (guessing it's filled with fillers?) and seem to be doing really well on Wardley. (Less poo. Must be more nutritious?) Would love some opinions Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Wardley is a better brand of food but New Life Spectrum,Omega One,JBL and Hikari are better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverdollarboy2 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Also don't get flakes get pellets.There are different sizes according to the size of the fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miz Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Is there a reason pellets are better? I've always fed flakes. Im happy to swap to what ever is best for them, that's why I'm here asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miz Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Also another question I've found the other three, but can't find new life spectrum? Mostly looking on Hollywood fish farms website, and did look at a couple pet shops, I can't seem to find it? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovmoller Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Is there a reason pellets are better? I've always fed flakes. Im happy to swap to what ever is best for them, that's why I'm here asking Flakes have a very big surface area pr weight so the goodies like vitamins etc dissolve into the water much quicker before the fish actually eats the flakes. Pellets are much more compact so keeps in the goodies better until the fish eats it. From personal experience and what seems to be many opinions worldwide is that New Life Spectrum is some of the best food available. Local fish shops here don't seem to sell it anymore but you can usually buy some on TM from people that buy bulk overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
