Is Tetramin good for freshwater fish?
Hey, I used to feed my fish Wardley Flake food, and thats about it. But when the food is almost over. I always get a bunch of “flake dust” and it just goes all over my tank. So I switched to Tetra Min today. The flakes are already small. But I picked up the 3 in 1 Tetra min. It has the Tetra min flakes, Baby shrimp, and Granules. I just want to know if these foods are good for my fish.
I have 2 gouramis (1 male 1 female, get along great!), 5 Gold barbs. 7 tiger barbs, and 3 Albino corys. (oh I feed the corys ALgea wafers and sinkable shrink pellets).
Will all my fish be able to eat the shrimp and granules? And every what should I feed the granules and shrimp, since I heard the shrimp is like a snack, not daily food. But I have never heard of granules. Also, how should I feed them? I heard for smaller fish, like the barbs, I need to crush them? And I have been told, that if they are dried. wich they arey, tha I need to soak them a bit in aquarium water before feeding, is this true?
Thanks for all the help, and sorry for all the questions, I just have never fed Shrimp or granules, but since I heard they are needed for a well healthy balanced diet, I decided to start feeding it to them. Thanx!

Juvenile Green Spotted puffer feeding problem, only puffer owners please?
I Bought a GSP and am keeping him in freshwater until i can get him into a brackish tank. Problem is its hard to feed him. I know that they do not like flake, pellet, etc. I have frozen brine shrimp, tiny snails the size of his eye, and tiny gut loaded ghost shrimp. He has only been in the tank two days and i cant get him to eat anything. He doesnt seem to notice it, i have put it right in front of his face and he still wont eat, im wondering if hes worried about the other fish, or if hes still adjusting to the tank. Should i put him in a holding tank to feed him, please help only puffer owners answer this please!
Im really considering putting him into a small holding tank and trying different puffer foods to see if he will eat but i am worried about stress from being caught with my net is this a bad idea?
I know that gsp s dont make good tank mates, im in the process of getting him into his own 29 gallon biocube. I have some loaches, a cichlid, a gouramis, and a few other semi aggressive fish he hasnt eaten any fins yet but he hasnt been in there very long. He is only an inch long and im going to get him into brackish as soon as possible.
Oh and he has lots of hiding places( caves plants fake coral, etc).

Live Food for Swordtails: Yes or No?
I was thinking about giving my sword tails live food as an occasional treat. First of all, is live food a good idea? Or should I just continue feeding them commercial flake food. If so, what kind of live food should I feed them, I heard Vinegar Eels are easy and can live in freshwater for a few days, but are they too small for 2 medium sized swords? What are the pro’s and con’s of feeding them live food? Do you recomend any stores/websites that sell live fish food? Could I feed baby brine shrimp to 3; 1 and 1/2 month old fry?
would my 2in Albino Cory Catfish most likely eat brine shrimp?
