Easy/ Healthy Foods for Axies

[AquaAmphib]

I was wondering if there are any foods you can just drop in and go that are healthy?

Well, the easiest by far are the pellets made by rangen for commercial salmon fisheries. They are semi-soft and sinking. Very good nutrition. I use these and supplement with live earthworms.

WORMS!!! Live earthworms are fine to just drop in.

I know live worms are supposed to be better (and I really did try for about a month) but my guys are exactly the opposite and they will not eat the worms and will only eat the stinky pellets from ed's fly meat.

My big male is the same. He will only eat worms if they are exactly the way he likes them (not too big, not too small, don't move too much but not completely still either) and even then he will only eat them occasionally. Pellets on the other hand he will eat every time. Good quality pellets are good as a staple though they can foul the water fast if left in the tank.
