Place To Buy Fish Food (Flakes)

Featured Replies

I have been looking for fish flakes (instead of small pellets) and havent been able to find any

Anyone know of a shop that sells it?

Preferably near the Arcade bus station but at this point I will settle for anywhere

Thanks

Have you tried the exotic fish shops at the Kathieng Flower Market on the backside of Tesco Lotus on the superhighway?

Also you can try the fish shops outside Big C off the Superhighway just south of Makro.

My advice is don`t buy the fish flake food.

I have kept pet fish here for many years, it`s my hobby. I have guppies, pet tab tim, goldfish, catfish, angle fish and more.

When I was feeding my fish flake food and the little minute pellet type food, my fish began dying one by one.

There is something in the ingredients that actually poisons them; especially the food that contains different colored particles in it.

Then I decided to revert back to feeding my fish with the large brown pellets.

What I do is purchase the brown pellets, then I powder them up using a cheap electric fruit blender I bought at Tesco Lotus for 215 baht. This way all the fish big and small are able to eat the ground up food. Sometimes I also feed my fish a little piece of raw ham or other meats broken up into small pieces, even small insects that I catch in my garden.

All my fish have remained healthy and thriving on the food I fed them.

wow - ok, thanks for the insight.

After experimenting with many kinds of fish food over several years and having lost lots of fish due to bad chemical ingredients in the food, here is my recipe for sustaining healthy fish stocks.

Purchase some brown fish pellets. The smaller the better, makes it easier to crush them up into powder form so that the small fish can eat them too.

Either use a pesel and mortor or an electric fruit blender (Shown below) to crush and powder the pellets.

Store the powdered form either in a tin with a lid, such as a Quakers oatmeal cereal container, which can be bought at Tesco Lotus or at any other supermarket or in a glass storage jar. Avoid using plastic containers as these too can have a chemical reaction with the food.

The container has no need to be airtight, just keep in a cool place with a lid firm enough to stop insects getting inside the container.

Sometimes feed the fish additional supplement meats such as ham or a piece of soft meat broken up into small pieces.

I guarantee your fish will have long, healthy and a prolonged life.

I tried all the flake and fancy pellet type foods. My fish all died from slow deaths. It took me 2 years before I caught on that it was the food killing them. In the end I threw all that junk stuff away and reverted back to the good old brown pellets. That was over a year ago and never had problems since.
