[shark shak]

is there any other types of food i can give my bala sharks,tiger barbs irredescent shark,or tinfoil barb other than flake food,blood worms,and brine shrimp?what about apples,peas,cereal,corn?

I wouldnt recommend cereal just for the fact they add some perseritives that could hurt them. I know some people feed their koi cherrios. Peas are suppose to be good. I have read that you have to peal the skin off. Probably the same thing with corn. Lettuce works well so does cucumbers.

Your tired of bloodworms and flakes? How much have you been eating? Flakes are a good staple mixed with other treats would be the best thing for your fish.

i give them 2 frozen blood worm cubess each week,and what other treats are there except brinshrimp and bloodworms.

just wondering, how big is your tank?

iridescent sharks get...rather large

 

[seastaar88]

there are lots of foods you can feed. for instance, frozen shrimp, silversides, krill, mysids, pellets, peas, zuchinni, collards, brocolli, and squash.

your balas would probably enjoy a nice juicy piece of romaine lettuce, I know mine go nuts when I give it too them...just drop it in and they will grab it while it floats around on top

thank you all,in reply to 051009 question my tank with the balas is 20 gallon.i know that is to small but i will move them to my 200 gallon soon.

Lettuce, cucumber, and boy, some of my fish (Bala Sharks) can rip a banana plant into pieces.
