Hello everyone,
Just a quick question. My 10 gallon nano is on day 9 of its cycle, and I've read that the cycle can be helped along by "ghost feeding" it with fish food, or adding a raw shrimp, etc...
I happen to have a container of goldfish flakes sitting over by my freshwater tank, and I want to know if they are safe to use for the ghost feeding technique.
These are the flakes in question, and here are the ingredients:
Whole Fish Meal (Whole salmon, herring & other mixed fishes), Whole Wheat Flour, Soybean Meal, Whole Dried Krill, Wheat Gluten Meal, Wheat Germ, Dried Yeast, Kelp Meal, Fish oil, Spirulina, Spinach, Natural Astaxanthin, Chili Powder, Marigold Powder, Garlic, Choline Chloride, Calcium Propionate (a preservative), L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), Vitamin A Acetate, Cholecalciferol (source of vitamin D3), Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Niacin, Menadione Sodium Bisulphite Complex (source of vitamin K activity), Folic acid, Thiamine, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (B6), Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, DL, Alphatocopherol (E), Manganese sulfate, Cobalt sulfate, Ferrous sulfate, Copper sulfate.
If not, I can most certainly just wait for the cycle to complete naturally, like a good, patient hobbyist.
Thanks!
