Alternative flake food.

Hi,
At the mo I'm using King British Tropical Fish Flakes for my Tetras and they're always spitting it out.
What's a good flake food i can use instead?

Thanks

I would use Tetramin pro crisps and some Tetra prima, it is way better than what you are using.:thumbup:

sometimes tetras spit out there flake food to make it smaller for them to eat.ive seen my 6 do that when i feed them with largish flakes.

Hi all,
I'd suggest having a look at the "TA aquaculture" site, Tim is a fish breeder and I really like the stuff he sells. You can make your own mix () or buy a ready made mix. <http://www.ta-aquaculture.co.uk/Flake_Foods.htm>.

Another point is to only keep a small amount of flake out and keep it in the fridge, keep the main container(s) in the freezer and just make up/take out small batches.

I've only tried the Earthworm and Spirulina flakes (I also buy the Astax red crumb pellets), but that looks pretty good mixed about 3:1 spirulina:earthworm for most fish.

Darrel beat me to it. I was going to suggest the earthworm flake from TA
