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

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?

contact your LFS.....wholesale opportunities for "Ocean Fresh" are available
