Title: HBH Tropical flake food
Post by: SKISWETPETS on April 09, 2012, 10:31:32 PM

This is the flake food i purchased from Jehmco, I believe its actually refurred to as Tropical 4 flake frenzy, seems like really good stuff. I just opened it today. Im wondering if anyone has used this particular food in the past at all. Thanks
SKI,

I have not tried it (that I'm 100% aware of at least), but they have been around a while.  They also make A LOT of private label fish food using the same formula but using different names so that is why I say I don't know for a fact that I haven't actually used HBH food.

I tried some in my 55 with all the fish i just recently got from Tony, and they ate the shit out of it. Side note, anyone here from him lately? I think i lost his # too. ??? ???

I just fed a can of veggie flakes last week when I was low on my regular flakes.  I didn't have any of my fish not eat it.

I Think im gonna use it for the rest of my fish on an alternating basis sort of, and see what how they like it. Marty are you gonna have more of the flake food available this coming sunday for the Fish Tour? Cause i will likely pick some more up from you. If i remember correctly your place is on the tour correct. ???

Is that much different than the regular tropical flake food you usually have. That is what i had gotten from Robmc last year. And will you be getting more of that stuff in the future? Either way im sure what ever it is will be fine.

They're green flakes mostly comprised of spirulina algae.  If you're keeping Africans, it will work very well for you.
