How healthy is "sweetwater zooplankton"

DylanE · 07/12/2007, 07:25 PM

Does anyone use this fishfood? It says that its 60 percent protein and such, and ive never ever had a fish not want to eat it right away. I usually feed it with formula 1 and 2 just to add something extra to their diet...but is it really healthy?

i tried it once. i dont know if i bought some that was old or what, but it made a cloudy mess of my tank the 2 times i fed it. my fish didnt even seem interested in it. if you are looking for some new things to add to the diet stick with some good frozen foods.

It has as much nutritional value in it as brine shrimp (little to none).

Think of it as a treat, or candy for your fish. It's daphnia, which comes from FW and has little to no nutritional value to our SW little buddies...
