flake

Greetings,
Any suggestions on a flake type of food which is not just vegetarian, trying to allow some of my smaller fish a better variety for the occasional flake dinner.
The brand that you use & why if you don't mind.
Thanks
Dwight

my fish get a staple diet of prime reef and formula 2. everyone seems to go nuts on it. i feed it twice a day, i only rarely give them mysis or frozen foods.

I feed prime reef but primarily feed mysis.

I don't know why but my fish prefer Flake Frenzy over prime reef or formula 2. Some fish do pick out a specific color of flake though.

Thanks for the feed back. Looks like the prime reef is the way too go

There is also OSI marine flake food. I feed that to my fish, and they seem fond of it. Available from MOPS.

I like NLS flake food. New Life Spectrum.

It's good stuff... read good things as well, all my fish love it.

I have heard good things about this food.

I heard very good things about NLS pellets, so I spent $25.00 on a container of them. My fish would not look at them. In the end I gave them away to a person whose fish do like them.
