I've read people feeding them cooked mussels and cooked shrimp...does anyone with research or experience know if why or why not it's okay?

Hey guys, I'm low on fish food. I feed my group of Juv Uaru A. Omega One veggie flakes, and I've got good results. Have any one of you guys tried the Ocean Nutrition? And how it was? Thanks in advance

So I've been thinking about making my own fish food for awhile and finally i just went for it. I used the basic guidelines and recipes online to come up with my own probably worst version lol. I added the garlic, probiotics, paprika, few approved herbs, and a bunch of veggies and all that but i...

Hello everyone, I don't like buying fish food. It's like dogfood. It will keep your fish alive and some of it will even keep them healthy but it's over priced and usually full of filler. I was looking into alternatives and found an interesting seller on eBay. I will be the first to admit that...

I caught one of my Angelfish laying eggs today. This wasn't her first time, but it was her first time not eating them. About a minute later I see my Leopard Angel come to fertilize them (I'm going out on a limb and guessing this one is a male), and surprisingly, he didn't eat the eggs either. If...

Hello, I recently got a green phantom to get pleco and put him in my tank with a 5" kelberi peacock bass, the pleco is just about the same size. I know long term this won't work and it's only for a little while. Anyways the kelberi keeps swimming towards the pleco whenever he's out of hiding or...

Hello everyone; I've had my jardini arowana for about 5 months now, he's grown from 2 inches to 4 inches in this period! My main problem and concern is that this fish is stubborn when it comes to feeding! It refuses everything except crickets! I've tried multiple types of floating pellets, raw...

1. ARE WATER CHANGES NEEDED EVEN WITH GREAT TEST RESULTS? I'm running a Fluval FX6 on a 125 gallon tank with a total of 8 small cichlids in it (see signature). I have had the tank setup with fish for about 2 months and my water tests are all coming back pretty good. My most recent water test...

As odd as it may sound, he loves Omega One Veggie Rounds. He is very picky. You name it and I have probably tried it, NLS, Hikari, other Omega One foods, various freeze dried products, Almost Natural Tropical Fish Food, Kensfish food and the list goes on and on. This food was never intended for...
