    All you Angelfish owners out there. I was wondering what do you feed your fish? What is the best foods to feed them.
    Thanks for your opinions!

    Frozen blood worms (bw) if you do not mind the by product (nutrients for plants). I can induce BBA by feeding bw!

    My two young angelfish are giving me problems now. You see, they refuse to eat ground up pellets although it is smaller than their mouths.
    I am only interested in training them to eat that food, as I do not want to feed them with dried bloodworms.
    I didn't know that angelfish are such fussy eaters. I had intended to stock up on calico (koi) Angelfish later, but I am put off by them being fussy about food.

    When it comes to food, my best experience is with Guoramis, as they can be easily trained to eat even rock hard small pellets.
    Goldfish are also my favourite eaters. I feed them those short black soldier fly grub, which they love. They also go hysterical over bananas.

    I managed to breed my koi angelfish. They breed on the community tank then I transferred them to a separate tank. When they become free swimmers, the first food I gave them was the alternate of ocean nutrition instant baby brime shrimp and Hikari first bite. Then I slowly introduced them to granules and frozen bloodworms. Mine are not really fussy eaters.

    I guess the pair which I bought are spoilt by being used to eating juicy daphnia or tubifex.

    You mean you feed your fish only once a day?
    I also try to feed once a day, but usually whenever I see them so poor thing begging me for food I will lan lan give the, some snacks.
