best frozen foods ?
 
looking for input on what is the best type of frozen foods? i have used mixed blend in the past as my tank only has 2 smaller fish in it (clown, 6 line wrasses)

any ideas are great, thank you

If you choose not to make your own frozen food which I think is the best than PE Mysis is a good product.There is alot of good home made recipes, just do a search. Kien has a good one.

Carefully read the label of all frozen and other fish and coral foods.

Some products are made in China and therefore the quality of the food is questionable.

I like homemade recipes too. They are cheaper, and you know the quality of the ingredients. However, with only two small fish it would be difficult to make a good homemade food without having way too much of it! My favourite frozen food and diet staple is PE Mysis. After that, I like San Francisco Bay brand.

"Ocean Fresh" plankton.....it's a salt water mysis shrimp..... Contains more of the omega and fatty acids that our salty friends would get naturally in the wild

I like the look of that one Doug! I use San Francisco Bay Plankton which is the same specie, but the Ocean Fresh brand looks like better quality.

I should probably add that I use Selcon with all frozen fish foods to provide essential fatty acids.

I know I'm gonna ruffle some feathers with this cuz people love their PE mysis........ But why would you feed a freshwater shrimp to a saltwater fish when there are saltwater equivalents?..... I'm just sayin:wink:

Myka 09-06-2011 09:53 PM

Because so far there hasn't been an equivalent readily available. The quality of the PE mysis is better than any other I have seen. I haven't even heard of Ocean Fresh until this thread. Also, when it comes to shrimp they all consume the same thing.

so your sayin that a freshwater shrimp eating a freshwater diet will have have the same nutritional benefits to our saltwater fish as a saltwater shrimp with a saltwater diet?:wink:
