CNY fish food help

**Wilsonid** · 6th Feb 2016, 16:03

Hi bros,
I just found out that all LFS has no more tubifex from today to after CNY. I have nothing to feed my fish for the next few days.
Wondering if any fellow hobbyist can help out and has tubifex or any live fish food to spare?
Pls SMS 9299 2449

Feeding fish solely on tubifex is not ideal....PolyArt at Clementi is open 24Hr, you may still able to get some feeder fish there even during CNY. What fish you keeping?

Try giving them some rolled oats (NTUC brand is best).
You may not believe this but all my fish, big and small, luv it!

And the best thing about oats is it is so nutritious and full of health goodies.

It is normal oats which we sometimes eat for breakfast. Rolled means the oats are flattened by passing through machine rollers thus making them softer and easier to cook. Do not feed instant oats as they may contain chemicals.

Somehow fish love rolled oats as can be seen by them gobbling it up enthusiastically. For small fish, break up the oats by rubbing it between the fingers. NTUC brand is easy to break up into small bits.

Guppies, Guoramis, Bettas, Angelfish, big goldfish, Pacus, Barbs, Tetras, etc...

I feed them normal fish food/pellets but also rolled oats between meals. Somehow, they relish the oats more than anything else. I never feed tubifex at all.
