Flake food experiment



This is probably pushing the subject matter of this list by discussing
flake foods, but I found this article interesting as well.  It's the
write-up of an experiment using Brine shrimp flakes as food for Emperor
Tetras.

To cut to the chase, Tetra Min was found to be more palatable to fish, so
they ate more Tetra Min.  However, even while eating less of the Tri-flake
food, the Tri-Flake fish grew more during the experiment than the Tetra Min
fish.

I would suggest to any reader that the live-foods discussed on this list
are probably still superior to the flake foods listed in this article.
