Guest Gabriel Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 heya everyone! i recently bought a massive (and quite cute looking) Oranda from a breeder, and i was wondering if anyone knew what the best commericial/live/natural foods are ? thankz, - Gabriel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member d_golem Posted October 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2005 Gday mate and Best foods according to me: Commercial: Hikari Lionhead & Sera Goldy Royal. Heard that Pro-gold is great also, but real hard to find here in Australia Live: I never fed live food, but heard that tubifex worms are great and i'd really like to feed my fish brine shrimp if i got the chance. Natural: Veggies like zucchini, duckweed, peas, and whole other things. Algae that grows naturally in ur tank Frozen bloodworm, frozen brine shrimp hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JustJayde Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Don't discount gel food either Many of us here make our own and toss in all kinds of healthy fruits and veggies! There are recipe's on the forums under "food" take a peek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member gialeigh Posted October 25, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 25, 2005 They arent that gross. But if you pick'em up they leave that nasty stuff on your hands. I dont think cutting them up is practical. It would just be too messy for that. Worms arent gross. But cutting them up is. Edit: Uh, Riz, are they still considered live food once you cut them into "croutons"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
