Over the years I have bought plenty of expensive flake & pellet foods for my Guppies & Platies.These foods have lots of 'Good ' ingredients but my fish don't eat with gusto, they basically taste it & then usually spit it out.I feed these foods for several weeks. So now I feed Tetramin tropical flake which they absolutely love & once a week frozen brine shrimp. The Tetra I buy when on special for about $25 Australian for 200 gr container. Good video mate!
I still use tetra but in truth years ago they made a flake food called tetra ruby. Best color food enhancer on the market. I'd also feed it to my marine fish. I had a marine tank with large plastic plants that reached the surface. I noticed a pair of very plain peppermint shrimp start climbing the plants and they would turn upside down and grab the tetra ruby off the surface. In a month or two those shrimp were as bright a red as a red fire shrimp. Never saw a plain shrimp take on so much color. I have to say my african cichlids never looked more colorful either. Today's tetra flakes don't produce that much color. Living along the upper texas coast mosquitoes were a great resource. I'd set a bucket of out tank water and dead leaves out in the shade. A time or two a week I could take a brine shrimp net out there and scoop up a net full of live mosquito wigglers and toss them in my fish tanks. Man the fight was on as to how many each fish could catch. I raised a school of neons from less than half an inch to jumbo size in two years by feeding them tetra ruby and mosquito larva.
Great Video! Your results match mine. TetraMin flakes makes my fish grow faster as well. Omega Flakes made my fish unhealthy so I trashed it. I also use Hikari micro pellets, Sera Flakes and Bug Bites. These are the only foods I use and my fish breed. Thanks for your honest feedback.
I remember when i got my betta spike I bought the best of what the people who keep them longer recommend he would pick at it but then i switched to flakes and he loves it like with every other animals all feed the fish in front of me and my picky boy is not a pellet fish he like his flakes
FYI "fish" is the plural of "fish". There is a technicality where one may use "fishes" but it is not considered casual speech. As someone who I believe is a non-native English speaker I thought you may like to know. Keep up the good work.
@@amazonianangelfish I tutor non-native speakers and tenses and plurals are hard. You are an excellent speaker, you must have started young or been very dedicated, which is why I thought to point it out. Figured you may want to fine tune going forward. Good work!

I realized that myself too. Only cichlids like pellets
Just placed my tetramin order😅
Good to hear, happy fish keeping
The music is too distracting
Thank you, I'll do the next one without music or I'll tone it down.
You should make the music louder so we can't hear anything you say instead of being able to hear like 60% of it.
Got it, I'll tone down the music

Thank you. I was never good at the plurals or tense.
