Fish Foods to avoid?

[HookTheBrotherUp]

Has anyone ever had a bad experience with certain fish food that caused any type of algae to grow? Just curious, I know some of the foods out there have phosphates in them, and I alway avoid those.

Thanks

The only time I've had issues with fish food causing algae was if I overfed.

Some foods are definitely better than others. For the most part, finding a formula that is right for your fish is as simple as reading the front label. If you have cichlids, find a can that is designed for cichlids.

NLS (New Life Spectrum) and Dianichi are some of the best foods, but anything can be bad if you overfeed.

The only time was in my daughters tank...someone gave me some old flakes, needless to say i threw them in the trash.

i discard food after 1 year if not finished. unless it's hikari, they have a shelf date
