cmclien 655 Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I have noticed when I feed my Hikari pellets alone the fish get really floaty yet when I give them repashy at the same meal, they don't, so now this is the way I feed them, as a combined meal. I am just curious as to why this would be? Edited February 14, 2013 by CindiL 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THUNDER 80 Posted February 14, 2013 Some fish are just really picky. Bluey gets floaty with Omega One while everyone else behave. Ya just gotta find the right balance. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenSpoiledRotten 6,786 Posted February 14, 2013 This is similar to how mine act when Bloodworms are fed at the same time as the ProGold for my fish. Maybe it is the combination of soft and hard that makes digestion easier? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 5,668 Posted February 14, 2013 It could also be due to all the plant and algae matter in Soilent Green helping with digestion. I think Fantailfan1 (?) noticed similar results when her fish were fed a combination of Repashy and pelleted foods. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrazE 105 Posted February 14, 2013 I feed mine Omega One medium pellets (sinking) in the morning, and Aqueon granules (sinking) in the evening without any floaty issues. They also get bloodworms, oranges, peas, or beans as a treat once a week. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This probably has something to do with it, balancing the meal towards more plant based food. I now mix 50/50, soilent and super green. I give veggies too at meals but something about the SG definitely helps with the floatiness. Edited February 14, 2013 by CindiL 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
