Thanks for sharing! Its good to see that I'm not the only one who feeds several brands and kinds of foods. My other half jokingly complains that the fish eat better than us when I cut up tilapia and shrimp for the big guys in the 7ft tank😂
I certainly feed them a variety.. northfiin community flakes and micro pellets but also use omega one plus frozen foods... I also use freeze-dried shrimp and krill as you do
Hey man, just discovered you channel. Watched a few videos and subscribed. All your tanks are beautiful. I've kept african cichlids for 10+ years and am an expert on them, but the main thing i struggle with now is my planted community tank. All my plants seem to wither away, yellow, and over all not seem to great. Any advice? I use fluval stratum capped with sand. Most have some anubias glued to some driftwood and some amazon swords. As well as a few stem plants I'm not positive as their ID, and water wysteria. Only the water wysteria is doing well, swords are yellowing, anubias are doing OK but have algea on the leaves. I also know nothing if I trim them lol. Love the channel keep it up!
@@MuleKickBassist hello sir so I was the same way few years back tried plants and they died. I haven't used fluval stratum. I forgot the name of the planted substrate but I bought it at Petco. I've come to the conclusion you really need to start with a good seasoned tank for plants to do well from the jump. But new tanks you probably would need to use fertilizers and or root tabs to give them a boost. One thing I don't do is I never vacuum my substrate I let the mulm sit there and it becomes food for your plants. I is something that takes patience and trial and error. Some plants don't do well in my water conditions yet others do Great. I wish you the best in your journey with planted tanks.
I also feed my fish small cooked shrimps from the North Sea, big cichlids and very small fish like rasbora’s like it very much. The big fish eat one shrimp at the time, the small fish can eat the small delicate fibres very well. And no water pollution like a lot of frozen foods.
@razinfishes1918 use a tiny skin from a Rainbow trout or a Brook trout. The scales are small and they can swallow easily and they gobble them down like crazy.
Have you ever seen a tiny bass caught on a big floating minnow bait? It's nipping it's fins for a easy meal because it thinks it's real. It's obviously not trying to eat it because it's 10× the size

I used to keep several foods, but I'm down to just 3 different brands. I also give them greens and vegetables on occasion

I also mix my flakes and pellet food and make it into powdered for my fry

@@MarijkeWillemsen990 hum I've never cooked the shrimp I just give it raw
I had all the best stuff for my African Cichlids back in the 90's but a fresh trout fillet skin once a month did great for health and color
@@Bloomcycle wow never thought that would be a food for African Cichlids thanks for sharing
@razinfishes1918 most of the lake Malawi cichlids are nibblers. They take bites of scales and fins and eyes. Opportunistic feeders
