After reading the 'discus - possible HITH' thread, I was wondering what
others out there do to ensure a proper diet for their fish.

I buy and mix my foods. I will include a quality general mix in (small
grain), freeze dried bloodworms and a spirulina based vegetable grain in
my
blend. I kept one old food container and mix equal amounts of the three.
Then I feed the mixture during feeding time. I also suppliment every
other
night with sinking algae wafers for my nocturnal ones.

Angel & Discus Power Flakes

The fish love it.

I feed my fish Tetramin "Tropical Flakes." If the measure is how
quickly they "attack" the food, then my "fish love it."

Not that I am going to change my fish diets, but I am curious, what
results are you judging that "Power Flakes", "spirulina" or other
feed such as "blood worms" , etc. to go for these alternate foods?

My tanks have been up for 2 to 3 years and the fish sure seem to like
the flakes. My one 5 inch black angel fights with the aggressive SAEs
to hog the floating flakes. The rest dash around mid or bottom tank
to get the leavings.
