Flake food suggestions

G Santana · Apr 29, 2023

A couple of weeks ago I was contemplating getting spirulina flakes for my fish as a treat and to use in an automatic dispenser for vacations, I happen to see these here that someone uses so I went to Amazon and bought the spirulina and the brine shrimp flakes.
So far the fish love them.
I forgot who advised their usage but thanks just the same!!!

My flame angel has always been a flake eater but the two tangs were a litte skeptical at first but now after a week or so they are gobbling it up as fast as the flame.

IME most all fish will eventually eat flake. I use Ocean nutrition Prime Reef and their spirulina flakes. The spirulina is really a needed supplement for angels, tangs and anyone else who wants it in addition to nori. I use small pellets in my Apex feeder but not so sure how well flakes would work.

Flakes work well in my Eheim auto feeder. I feed spectra flakes both veggie and protein.

All my fish eat flake, even the copperband butterfly
I feed Ocean nutrition and Omega flakes

Nice may try them after the ocean nutrition flakes wear out. I was doing slow sinking pellets for years via auto feeder and went to the ocean nutrition flake last year and the response was phenomenal!
