I use frozen mysis shrimp primarily - once a week at best; frozen blood worms when I run out. And 15 types of dry food. And green beans and peas. The goliath groupers in the pond I've never fed... but I've noticed I never hear the neighbor kids anymore...

[@mangala666]

I basically buy every frozen food they have at the store with some minor exceptions - I don’t get the Krill and the beef heart (anymore) because my fish don’t care for it. Then I rotate through the foods so they never get the same thing two days in a row.

[@Vincent-kx9ze]

Another great informational video!

[@paulhowell8661]

You can also save your old frozen food trays and use them for homemade frozen food

[@davidreid1865]

Great information. Thanks Bentley.

[@deatlebug1]

I agree with the sentiment of variety. :) Thanks for the video!!

[@pj2854]

Love all your videos bud. I'm pretty sure I could listen to you talk anything so passionate. I really appreciate all your time . Happy New year

[@newmexicoaquatics282]

Great info. I have not tried to freeze my live BBS but I will be trying that soon! Thank you for sharing! - Little Bobby

[@iowainterstaterailroadfan6543]

Love the videos, I never thought about freezing the extra baby brine shrimp. I think I will start doing that and by making a big batch every once in a while and freeze what I think I will need. Looking forward to the live stream tonight!!

[@MidnightGeekSS]

Most frozen are great! My fish love bloodworms, mysis and brine shrimp in particular

[@Pilot_Unknown]

Thanks Bentley!

[@DaniKenAquatics]

Great Information Bentley I do Baby brine and Mosquito Larva in summer

[@Aquatic_Amigo]

Once again great information vedio 🔥

[@juliecaton3329]

I have only ever used frozen bloodworms which I started for my Bettas and I cut up a frozen cube and distribute between the tanks. Better yet, I just cultured my first batch of BBS and they all love 'em!

[@bwood4505]

Variety is the spice of life for Our Fish Too

[@aquablaster86]

Hikari Frozen clams on the half shell for Yoshi my Fahaka puffer is part of his diet. Then frozen blood worms, krill and bbs for my smaller fish. Great idea to freeze some live bbs to have on hand when i notice my shellies have more fry. Thanks Bentley!

[@swatch12345]

I usually mix a cube of Daphnia with a nano cube of copepods. Works great for fry and adults. Mix in Sera dry food, Fluval Bug Bites, and live microworms. Working on hatching out baby brine.

[@ashenwalls3558]

I'm feeding my betta frozen blood worms and brine shrimp on top of fresh mosquitos, and bug bites as their staple dry food.

[@warriors475]

I feed mine brine,bloodworm,flake, tropical mix frozen and pellets just try and mix it up for them over the week.. did not know about cyclops will looks out for that one thanks for sharing 👍

[@jackadair6225]

Great info! I tend to stick to frozen daphnia, cyclops, bloodworms, and spirulina brine. Occasionally I’ll give my bigger fish some spare mysis I have just to get rid of it lol

[@ElectricBoogaloo007]

Frozen rotifers are really good too. They're the same size as baby brine shrimp.

[@kerrypitt9789]

Thanks Bentley! As usual goo advice, good information. I am feeding my new Fahaka Puffer frozen clams. She is too small to eat them whole but I crack them hoping she will work her teeth on the shells. I also crush large snails. I may have to go to frozen snails eventually. I feed my Guppies frozen Brine shrimp. Is there any difference between the different Frozen Brine Shrimp manufacturers?

[@paulhowell8661]

I also occasionally feed Krill to my Rainbows

[@RogueAquariums]

I use frozen foods as part of my feeding regiment. Hikari Mysis shrimp, PE mysis, Hikari blood worms, LRS Reef Frenzy,

[@Danios]

Nice tip, greetings from Poland ;)

[@bakotako]

Frozen brine and bloodworms from SF Bay in slab form. Sometimes beefheart for my discus. They only eat frozen except for two of them... so picky

[@fone2060]

Big​ like​ for​ you​ friend​🥰​

[@vb2377]

Scuds are plentiful in my white clouds tank. I wonder if they snack on it.

[@chevyfish5373]

Thanks for your views and reasons why you do & don't use certain frozen. I use the cubes because the sheets are too hard for me to break apart. I really like cyclops but haven't been able to get it for over two years here. I like these videos which state what you use & why.

[@spencerflynn1722]

Another great video! Talking about how blood worms don't have much nutritional value, are live black worms along the same lines? My LFS keeps them in stock and I got into the habit of using them to feed some pea puffers, and obviously all my other tanks go crazy for them.

[@BentleyPascoe]

They're ok, but certainly have to supplement other foods for rounded nutrition

[@spencerflynn1722]

@@BentleyPascoe Great thanks! Part of rotation with flake, bug bites, and other frozens.

[@reelthing4u]

i feed blood worms .i grated frozen scallop ,fish and shrimps.

[@Handygrrl]

Wish you discussed quantities in relationship to tank size, fish count...

[@BentleyPascoe]

That depends more on type of fish than count. My big adult rainbow tank will plow through 2 cubes like it's nothing, but juveniles in the same numbers, 2 is more than enough.

[@johnwood738]

What would you recommend for a pea puffer tank? I am feeding pest snails and frozen blood worms or brine shrimp every second or third day.

[@BentleyPascoe]

That's a pretty good regime of food, you could also use the hikari vibrabites

[@totaltropicals_tv1010]

Bloodworm, is my number one go too. Fantastic for ripening ovaries, if spawning is the goal. I find the cheaper brands like Orca are the best. The quality of the expensive brands look great, but the fish suck the contents out of the skins and the skins mess the aquarium. Frozen Daphnia is good also, for medium to small fish. I culture my own, with the amount I have to feed it would send me broke. I also make my own wet recipes, from raw ingredients. So Bentley, do you have a preferred brand for commercially prepared frozen foods?

[@BentleyPascoe]

Hikari for most foods, but San Francisco Bay brands for cyclops

[@zimrianispresent8123]

I have 6 tanks and casually have 150 gallons ready to set up.... Don't tell my boyfriend I am here he is going to wake up and step into a fish tank

[@nabokovfan87]

So.... Sadly, literally all I can get (live in socal) around me is bloodworms or brine shrimp. Not even the frozen baby brine anymore. I wish I could get daphnia and such, but there's a saltwater shop near me I can manage to get cyclops once in a while. Question for you, if you didn't have a shelf/table and didn't have a "room" to build a nice brine shrimp factory but you could convert say.... A 5g bucket in a corner to a "pond" how would you do it, what would you keep in it for live foods? I like bloodworms only for my Cory's. They love worm shaped foods and I feed them the vibrabites just to replicate that behavior. They usually get a mix of other foods and something frozen whenever I feel like treating them. I've actually thought about grinding up some shrimp cubes or something that's healthy for them as well.

[@BentleyPascoe]

Typically brine as they get older feed well on Brewer's yeast. That being said, I would take the bucket, cut a hole in the lid to act like a holder, the. Use a 2L or 1L bottle as my brine shrimp hatchery set into it. Feed a line and valve into the cap through your hole, call it good.

[@aquaticaddictionmedia]

Hi Bentley! You forgot to put the Amazon link to the ice tray.

[@BentleyPascoe]

Oh shoot! I'll get that up ASAP

[@BentleyPascoe]

Link is added as a pinned comment, thanks again!

[@myfishcave382]

Just wondering after seeing & listening to your video. I agree that feeding live & frozen food to aquarium fish in small quantities greatly improve the health of the fish. However I want to know will this food effect the chemistry of the water & filter media in canister filter. Doing regular tank maintenance like water changes will become more frequent.? Does it effect human health when one in comes in contact with aquarium water. This is my curiosity.

[@BentleyPascoe]

I do 50% changes weekly on all my tanks, I've yet to see frozen foods cause water quality issues. As for your self, just wash up as soon as you're done working in a tank and there should be no issues

[@ContrastNY]

good info. I just gave my clown killies some bloodworms.

[@spektrumdx6]

Omega 1 Community Frozen my Rainbows will not eat ,Thought it was a bad batch its rubbery ,tried from another store same thing Wondering if others have had the same experience ? Not a fan of any frozen Omega

[@BentleyPascoe]

I almost exclusively do hikari bio pure (hikari normal frozen line) or San Francisco Bay brands line

[@jackadair6225]

I’ve heard of other people having similar issues with the community frozen blend from omega one, but my fish will eat the omega one brand frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia just fine. I’ve never understood it lol

[@spektrumdx6]

Thanks for the feed back often wondered if the issue with the omega frozen is in the transport process it gets thawed out to end on a positive I like the omega Freeze dried Krill and Kelp pellets

[@spektrumdx6]

Same here Hikari is my go to for Blood worms /Daphnia and always try to keep a pack of baby brine for Emergency those days when you run out of time to get a batch of baby brine going before you leave for work

[@marshallhouston4506]

I thought you said masturbater Dean haha 😂😂 great video, thanks dude!

[@elissajackson5140]

Just thinking about your exit line. Be awesome. Do you watch crash course?

[@BentleyPascoe]

Nope, I basically watch no TV outside of football season.

[@elissajackson5140]

It's actually an educational thing on KZbin. They say the same thing at the end normally.

[@BentleyPascoe]

@@elissajackson5140 cool, had no idea. I mostly watch a couple camera channels and tech channels outside of fish fam when it comes to KZbin

[@berenicehickey9755]

Mysis?

[@BentleyPascoe]

I don't personally use mysis, but several people love them

[@jimwilliamson5603]

Hmmmm.. Seahawks.. love your content but tomorrow you will be an enemy. Lol.. Obviously I'm from Philly.. Good luck!

We both have had a LOT of injuries on our teams, which sucks, but the battle of the birds shall commence!
