Regular Member fruitloop1 Posted November 28, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hey guys if you live in china, australia, new zealand, hong kong or for me, the uk then you should try this. Aqua one flake food is a superb day to day combination of minerals and vitimins which mean the best for your fish Protein - 38 percent Fat - 5 percent Fibre - 4 percent Moisture - 8 percent Ash - 16 percent Fish meal, krill, soyabean meal, flour, what flour, yeast powder, alfalfa powder, lecithin, fish oil, multi minerals and vitimins, astaxanthin. The fish seem to love it and the people in the shop were very enthusiastic http://www.aquaone.co.uk/goldfish.php 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Iheartfishies1172 Posted November 28, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 28, 2010 Fruitloop, you should try out a sinking pellet food. My understanding is that flakes loose nutrients very quickly and are comprised mostly of filler. I'm not sure about the brand you linked, though. I use flakes sparingly as treats, because my pellet food is difficult to hand feed and I don't want to feed peas every day! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member blackteles Posted November 28, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 28, 2010 And don't forget that if you do feed flakes as a supplement...soak them in a cup of tank water for a few minutes so the flakes sink to the bottom. Adding them to the surface without soaking will cause your fish to gulp air and will contribute to SBD. Keep 'em down at the bottom! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Cynders Posted November 28, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 28, 2010 Yup yup this is very true The sinking pellets are better for your fish so they don't gulp air and they don't cloud up your water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member number20121 Posted November 28, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 28, 2010 Exactly, because you don't want your fish to die from bad SBD, right? I tossed all the flake foods when I learned about it. Although I think flake food would be a cool idea to mix in with your gel food ingredients... I think I'm gonna try that sometimes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You betcha Fang....no reason why you couldn't..and they would absorb moisture too. I still use them occasionally as a supplement and variety food, but they're always soaked and sent to the bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
