What to Feed my Zebras?

Post by jpboscar3 »

Feedback and suggestions wanted?

I am about to order some foods from Kens Fish Food (this is not an advertisement) and would like to know what you think of my choices. This is for several adult Zebras. One pair spawned about two months ago and produced three fry. My food source that I had been using is apparently no longer in business and I would like to try something new.

1. Premium Earthworm Flakes.
2. Pure Spirulina Flakes.
3. Premium Brine Shrimp Flakes.

Any and all recommendations will be very welcome.

generally speaking... flake foods are a bit difficult to feed as they don't sink very easily.. they also break up and foul the water fairly quickly.. and flakes tend to stay suspended in the water column and in my experience, zebras don't feed very often in midwater.

I feed mine:
Frozen bloodworms
Frozen mysis shrimp
Hikari sinking carnivore pellets
Shrimp pellets

Depending on the size of the zebras, you may need to shave the frozen foods to make them smaller.
