What are we looking for exactly, i.e. Hight Protien vs Carb vs Moisture? Or does it denpend on the fish and where they like to feed, ex: bottom vs top.
I've been looking into the best food for fry also. I've read that live BBS is good but you HAVE To feed the fry this stuff w/in 8 hours of hatching. If you don't do it at just the right time, then the nutritional values go down, and the fry don't get what they need. (?) Then there's some freeze dried brine shrimp that says it's better then live b/c the nutritional values are highter then live bbs. (?)
It seem to me like adults eat fry food just as much as their own food - so as fry get bigger, one could just buy the "good" food in larger chuncks. (?)
I've been feeding my fish frozen blood worms, but have found freeze dried blood worms.. what's the difference? Besides the fact that one stays in your freezer.
In my short fish history I've feed my fish: tubflex worms (freeze dried), blood worms(frozen), flakes, Veggie wafers, Algae wafers, and some pellet type food for cichlids. Fry have been getting microworms lately.
SO in short: What do you think is the best food? Why? What are you looking for on the labels re: nutritional values.
Thanks,
B
sorry for all the Q's!
