What's your favorite spirulina based food?

[SDguy]

I'm afraid some of my fish are getting too much meat due to the diets of the other fish. Do they still make spirulina pellets? I used to use them back in the 90's but can't seem to find any now. Flakes tend to be messy, especially in the FOWLR since there aren't any small fish in there. What do you use for veggie based foods?

 

[snorvich]

That would be useful information to me as well.

I am using Omega One Veggie Flakes. My tang eats the flakes but isn't wild about them.

I would like to give the Two Little Fishies Sea Veggies a try. I think these only come in flakes also.

The only herbivorous fish pellet I can think of is Ocean Nutrition Formula Two.

I have used some Hikari Algae Disks (I break them up into small pieces). http://www.hikariusa.com/products/tropical-diets/wafer-shaped-diets/algaewafers I can't say my fish have been particularly interested in them but the crabs like them.

Ah ha!! This is what I was looking for!

Now to find someone that sells it...

 

[Daniel Reef]

Amazon sells it - http://www.amazon.com/Spirulina-Sinking-Food-Sticks-0-70/dp/B003TV7T60

 

[spieszak]

hikari makes a spirulina brine mix... basically green brine (even once defrosted and rinsed)...all my fish eat it... even a somewhat picky mandarin... I don't know how high the concentration is, but I added it to my mix for the same reason stated above.

So does Pawtastic - http://www.pawtasticpet.com/proddetail.asp?prod=ZMASS1&PARTNER=gbase#.TslKfPJZ-So

Any comments on this one? I see spirulina is listed as the first ingredient.

I can't find anyone that sells the 2lb size

For over a year I've been using frozen foods from H2O Life since that is what my LFS carries. One of their products is a Spirulina Brine/Mysis mix called Special Mix.

I also feed the Marine Fusion variety that is meatier but still has some Spirulina, though not as much.

I've seen Marine Depot and Dr Foster Smith selling these on their sites if you can't find it locally.

They're a little hard to find, but Sera stick-on spirulina tabs are like crack to my fish.

 

[Daniel Reef]

Are these the one? http://www.aquariumspecialty.com/sera-spirulina-tabs-9050

 

[rssjsb]

Yep, that's them. I looked at the ingredients and spirulina is only the 3rd listed ingredient behind fish meal and wheat meal (not ideal, I guess). With the exception of a very stubborn potter's angel I've got in QT right now, every single fish I've had goes nuts for this stuff.

 

[Daniel Reef]

A video of them feeding on the tab would be nice@rssjsb

O.S.I. Spirulina Flake Food

Omega One.

Fish love both.

 

[Dakota Reef]

The Sera tabs work especially well for the blennies in my frag tank. However in my main tank, the Blonde Naso has figured out how to knock them off the glass in about three seconds. That results in a comical game of tag with the Naso, Yellow Tang, Navarchus and Starry Blenny all desperately nibbling away at the bobbing disk. They either really love the taste or its a competition thing.

I'm never sure how much they're actually able to eat and how much simply dissolves in the fracas.

SDguy - Do you think nori/seaweed doesn't provide enough nutrition?

 

[michael_cb_125]

I have been using Elos Spirulina Plus fish food to my Bandit Angels since I first got them. They love em' and I am about to order more. The only downside is that they float, which is not good for some finicky eaters.

I don't feed nori. It always turns into such a mess in the tank.

 

[geaux xman]

i just started feeding my 6 large angels this Spirulina 20 flakes once a day. This is in addition to PE mysis and pellets.

5 of my angels goes wild over it. my personifer wont touch it. same fish wont touch any dry food either though.

I use these pellets daily for my angels & have been for years. They devour it like its candy. I highly recommend them.
I also feed Hikari Spirulina Brine, Nori, & ON #2 flakes.
