Title: Cheap fish food
Post by: naughtymoose on November 28, 2014, 04:23:36 PM
Was in town today and went in to a 99p shop. I got a tub of fish food flakes.

The fish seemed happy with them, so I shall add them to the menu of different foods that I feed them with.

Wlikinson's "fishy feast tropical flakes" are the basic food I give to all my fish, they seem to be thriving on it. I also bought bulk freeze-dried  bloodworm, tubifex and brine shrimp from EBay, which go down a treat. I don't buy branded food for myself nor for my fish and we all seem to be doing OK.
