Please log in for more thread options I just changed over my 55 to essentially an Angel tank, with a few
catfish and lots of Amazon Sword plants. I got 6 small locally bred assorted
fish at my LPS. Can someone give me a quick run down on what they like? I
haven't kept them in years and only remember them being voracious eaters and
very hardy.

I feed mine minced beef heart, tubliflex worms, a little flake food etc.
Like you say, angels are hearty eaters! Beef heart will make them put
on size, QUICK!

Do you do your own beef, or get it in a petshop? What's the procedure?

Yes, I purchase fresh beefheart.
One way is to take pieces of the unfrozen heart and pulse it through a
blender on "chop", until the result is in pieces of the right size.
Another way is to use a cheap metal grater on the frozen heart, shaving
off pieces of a suitable size by choosing the proper place on the hand
grater.
DON'T process frozen heart in a blender, it will break the
shaft/bearings/blades of the blender.

JS

Why specifically beefheart? I'm just guessing it has to do with fatty
content messing up the tank? What about pieces of any lean fresh steak,
chicken or pork?
