KiwiGal77 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 For my Platys (and soon to be Tetras too) I am currently feeding once a day, alternating between Fluval Tropical Flakes and JBL Novo GranoMix, does that sound ok? Would they also benefit from any other additions or regular treats, or do those foods provide them with everything they need? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 They will provide them with everything they need but some ask would you want to eat the same thing day after day? There is nothing wrong with what you are feeding though. The occasional live food will be wolfed down. Stock troughs and stagnant water are great places to find daphnia and mosquito larvae as well as all sorts of tasty (to fish) wee critters.

alanmin4304 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Generally you get what you pay for with prepared food The cheaper stuff in the supermarket is probably made by the same firm as the more expensive one in the pet shop but will not be as good quality wise. Live foods are always good and half the fun of keeping fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiGal77 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hmm, we have plenty of what I assume are mosquito larvae in the horse's water troughs. would they be suitable and safe as a treat? Troughs are just filled with rain water, no additives. Do I just scoop some up in an ice cream container and feed a few a couple of times a week?

Caryl Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 It is fun to suck them up with a turkey baster then squirt them into the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
