Can you feed Tropical fish Goldfish flakes?

Posted on May 3, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

i saw someone ask this, and i TOO have a tub of goldfish flakes im not using… Could i possibly feed these goldfish flakes to my tropical fish? Neon tetras, Guppies, Mollies, swordtails, platies, etc.

Now, sure the PICTURE says what fish… but both are omnivore fish. Am i right?
Also, the back packaging pretty much says the same as the tropical fish food flakes… Fish meal, some other shrimp, etc…

So… can it work as an alternative?

thanks

(7+ years of tropical, freshwater fish keeping)

3+ Special breeding (my best accomplishment was mixing mollies with platies, and swordtails with mollies… Yes…)

ABOUT MY RED EAR SLIDER ?

Posted on October 12, 2011 by admin| 6 Comments

i have a red ear slider hes about 4 inches and ive had him for about a year ive been feeding him omega one freshwater flakes for tropical fish that the pet store said to feed him and he loves dried shrimp but im worried about his diet he doesnt want to eat the turtle sticks or pellets he doesnt eat vegetables or fruits i tried alot of things and it seems like the pellets and sticks are the healthiest thing to give him he isnt that big is that y hes not eating alot of the foods does any one have suggestions on feeding him healthy food
also he doesnt like to eat in a separate tank so i have to clean his tank out alot and sometimes i cant do it all the time and the water gets cloudy and his shell is kinda of yellow is this because of the cloudy water
it almost looks like he cant chew the pellets he puts them in his mouth and spits the back even after i break them up

African Dwarf Frog?

Posted on October 21, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I just bought an african dwarf frog. It died after 6 days of having it. It was in a tank with two other tropical fish in a 5 or 6 gallon tank. I tried to feed it Frozen Brine Shrimp, and Baby Shrimp. I think it died from starvation. Did I feed it wrong, or did I give it the wrong food?? Would bloodworms work better?
