Advice on different brands of fish food

Hi all. What foods do you use and recommend? What have you had good/bad experiences with? Thanks. :smile1:

 

Any and all food available from Dirk Bellstedt is highly recommended in my opinion.

When I run out, I would then maybe buy Tetra.

 

I also use the profs flake foods. It's bloody good stuff. I also use ocean nutrition products as well. Also very good foods.

 

Where can I get the Dirk Bellstedt food and is it quite pricey?

 

Order directly from Professor Dirk.
And its the most cost effective food you will find.

 

Food recommendations also depend on the dietary requirements of the fish you keep.I have used prof dirk's foods..its good stuff.ocean nutrition also good as well as hbh veggie flake which I feed to my rift lake cichlids.Recently I received a price list for New Life Spectrum foods..I havnt used it myself but it been getting good reviews almost everywhere..seems people only complaining about the costs.

 

Where can I find Prof Dirks contact details? New to the forum.

 

So far iv been using tetra extensively just over 10 products from them
And alge wafer from hikari, my fishes love them

@BBQ I have heard Hikari is very good. Do most LFS stock it?

 

Indeed, they are rated #1 by far in the world
But it comes with a price tag as well. It like 100%
more on price. Not all shops will stock it. Cos pricing
But the shops that do, well they have all the people
Going to them when they want high end food.
Just remember to ask for discount. I get 20% at the
Shop that I buy. As I tend to spend a bit on food with them.

 

Ignoring brands, I suppose quality ingredients are key. The so called Guaranteed Analysis on most foods are just not detailed enough.

Protein, Fat, Ash, Crude fibre are typically the only thing on the list of with real min max numbers ... so maybe like with human food we should only buy products that have relevant Guaranteed Analysis and detail the composition .. i.e. the source.

BTW I am not a great believer in all the ash we give our animals, but it is hard to not get some form of filler in most foods.

The prof's food seems to last forever too.
