Frozen Food

Hi everyone. What are the BEST frozen foods to feed Blue Texas Cichlid's and Angel's.

Depends on the size of Texas, while the texas is young both them and the angels would do well with brine and Mysis shrimp once the tex grows krill would be great and if you want to mix the diet even further potentially silversides, squid, mussels, tilapia, shrimp, etc, as a once in a while treat would work I mix these with various greens and veggies for my tex along with some good quality cichlid pellets. Personally don't like bloodworms and wouldn't feed or recommend them.

I personally liked Mysis Shrimp; my Discus ate them up like candy.

I'm a deer hunter, and when I had discus I used to feed them pure deer heart. I would trim the sinew & valves out, freeze small chunks of pure meat, and use a parmesan cheese grater and turn it into "blood worm" sized squiggles. My discus tore it up! Deer heart is very lean, more so than beef heart, so a great & clean source of high protein feed!

Hello. No hunting for me. I live in the country and I feed them everyday. I have about 30 that come to my property and eat and rest. They are pets to me. I appreciate your info.
