Fish Treats?
Im sure the fish get bored with the usual flakes everyday. What treats do you feed your fish? I heard someone fed their fish frozen brine shrimp?
I have tropical community fish.

Most fish will love Brine. I wouldnt use it as a staple but once or twice a week would work fine

You could also buy a cheap Brine hatch kit for about $7 and hatch your own in a 2L. bottle once a week...Your fish will go nuts over fresh baby brine!...HTH

I just bought from frozen brine and gave them a little chunk, and they did go nuts.

Hi...
You do not say what fish are in your tank at present, you may consider using vegetables. I regularly put in shelled peas, zucchini, cucumber.
I also at least once a week put in live river shrimp which they find exiciting to chase and devour

In that tank there is some neon tetras, a pleco, small catfish, a cray fish, somekind of rainbow fish and 2 angels.
Where do get live river shrimp? They sound fun. |

I get my river shrimp from my LFS but I have to ask for them as they are in the back, I think that they use them to feed their own fish, very cheap bout 4p each to me, as you can tell I am from UK so not sure what happens in the US.
I think that your fish will def benefit from some veg especially the plec with zucchini he will feed for ages on that but be patient if you have not fed it b4 it will take some time for him to work out what it is.
