Is it good to feed your fish different fish foods or just the flakes?

hi,
I know for like dogs they say to keep their food the same, just wondering if this was the same for fish?

 

More variety the better. Veggies are good and if you can soak the food in some type of garlic with help with their health.

 

ditto

People tend to like flakes b/c it leave very little waste from excess food that isn't eaten in the tank. I personally feed a mixture of frozen food.

If you soak your food or even nori sheets in selcon, you'll have a complete diet for your fish. Certain Fatty Acids allows fish to have better color intensity.

 

Dapz to that.

 

Definitely offer a variety of foods. I switch between frozen food, pellets, flakes and nori. It is nice if they are used to eating everything. If you run out of something, you know they will still eat other things. Also, the more variety adds more nutrition into their diet. Most of our tanks are mixed with omnivores, carnivores and herbivores. By feeding a mixture you are making sure that everyone is getting what they need.

 

At LEAST 4 different foods.

 

I find for best health and color you should feed mysis and brine ever 3days.

 

Well all I have to say is, it depends on the type of fish. Some fish need a variety and others get overwhelmed with a large variety. If they mainly eat flake food then you could mix in pellet food if you want. Best thing to do is to look for a site or group that is specific to the type of fish you have.

 

i feed my fish 4 different kinds of food.
