Fish and food from china

NO. I wouldn't ever eat anything from there.

One of the issues with tilapia farmed in China is that smaller, independent farmers face economic pressures to use animal manure rather than more expensive commercial feed for farmed fish, a practice which contaminates water and makes the fish more susceptible to spreading foodborne diseases.
A July 2009 report from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the safety of food imports from China noted that in that country "Fish are often raised in ponds where they feed on waste from poultry and livestock" and cited an increased rate of FDA rejection of fish imports from China between 2000 and 2008.

Some people prefer freeze dried fish food over fresh as it's easier to keep and a bit less revolting to handle. The freeze dried food kills parasites and preserves natural flavors and nutrients for a long period of time. But some fish prefer their food to be fresh, so it really depends on your fish.

The website That Pet Place, has a good selection of freeze dried fish food. http://www.thatpetplace.com/aquarium-supplies/freeze-dried-fish-food#!freeze-dried-fish-food

Yes you can make your own homemade fish food to supplement some of your fish's diet. Check out this link which gives percentages of the foods you can be giving your fish based on what type of fish they are. http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Quality_Fish_Food.html#homemade_fish_food

Take a look at the SeaPets website. They sell a pyramid that releases food slowly and on day 4, releases a surprise block of worms for your fish to eat.http://www.seapets.co.uk/products/aquarium-supplies/aquarium-fish-food/holiday-fish-food/all-products.html

Fish food blocks are blocks of food that slowly dissolve on average over 7 days. This allows you to go on holiday and know that your fish will have enough food.

Try Premium Fish Food. They proved bulk fish food at wholesale prices. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_11/183-1733543-0844960?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=fish+food+dispenser&sprefix=fish+food+d%2Caps%2C301

You can check out http://www.aquariumguys.com/fish-food-fish-feeders.html they got the entire fish food brands and they also deliver the product in two days, I'm ordering from this site regularly.

I do not recommend feeding your fish anything other thanfish food. Fish food is specificallydesigned to be nutritious and digestible to fish. You cannot say the same about any otheranimals' food. If you are out of fishfood, you can feed fish soggy bread crumbs for up to 24 hours before theyrequire something more substantial.b>
