brand of food?

[Lynn]

What type of fish food does everyone use and like? do you think that there is a big difference between the brands?
thanks

Favorite frozen: Prime reef, Pygme angel formula, mysis shrimp, squid, etc.

Favorite flake: Anything from www.brineshrimpdirect.com, OSI, Sera, sprung's sea veggie flake, New Life Spectrum, and there's more.

Stuff for soaking: Zoe, Selcon, garlic xtreme or related product, phytoplankton, spirulina powder, natu-rose axzanthin powder although i can't spell it.

Foods that are a waste of time: #1 on my waste of time list is brine shrimp, unless you gut-load live brine, it's pretty useless, mysis is much better for the fish/corals. Formula 2 mainly because i found out that it contains peas. Probably not bad but just the idea of feeding my fish peas just doesn't do it for me.

Yum.

I also make my own, plus I alternate with at least ten different varieties of frozen, lots of OSI spirulina flake, nori, pellets, etc.

My LFS carries the frozen food, Marine Cuisine. The fish love it and i've also seen my yellow polyps and hitchhiker zooanthids also wrap around it.

however, i can't say how nutritous it actually is.

P.S: that's really the only thing i could think to add to what's already been posted

edited to add: "Lynn, i know this is off subject.
But i've noticed you keep birds. Nice little web site you've got there. My question is: Have you found any good information resources on the net or better yet, a BB like this one that deals with birds? I'd really appreciate if you would give me some URLs. The last few times i've looked for info/discussion, i haven't found much out there."
Thanks!

My staple flake is Tetra marine flakes (color enhancing formula); all of my fish like it, sometimes more than frozen brine. For some reason, I can get virtually every fish I've ever owned to eat this.

I also feed Nutrafin marine pellets, but its a hit or a miss; however the hermits really like the pellets which make it down to them.

I also supplement with San Francisco Bay frozen brine (Fish Gum Drops brand). I'll probably try a more nutritious frozen food after I'm done with this batch.
