One of the biggest topics on the Datnoid forum is stability. Since one of the biggest factors contributing to getting your Dat stable is there diet, I thought everyone could list what they feed their tigers.

This should give some people new to keeping Dats a head start, and hopefully even give the veterans a couple new ideas.

Please don't list anything you think/assume would be good for Dats, just what you actually do feed yours.

I feed my Dats the following...

Market Shrimp
Krill
Silver Sides
Shrimp Pellets
Carnivore Sinking Pellets

And when smaller, they will also get...

Blood worms
Mysis Shrimp
Brine Shrimp

i feed my 4 dats NLS, large fish formula(sinking) and jumbo fish formula(floating) the indo wont eat sinking once it touches the floor so i have floating so he gets some, 2 thin bars eat sinking pellets only and my last thin bar dat which is the lamest cause i cant convert him to eat pellets, i feed the frozen blood worms but everyone gets in on that so i feed it last...i want the others to eat as much as they can so they are full and will leave the BW for the stubborn one...

AT: market shrimp, Hikari sinking carnivore pellets, Omega One shrimp pellets, turkey, fish filets
won't eat anything that floats at the top

IT, NTT: haven't gotten them to eat yet that I've noticed

I've fed some feeders to my AT, but only because I had a payara that would only eat live, but it's out, so no more feeders until I get a breeding program set up. If the NTT and IT don't eat for two weeks, I may give them a couple feeders, esp. the IT since it's so small and I don't want to starve it to death.

main food: hikari sinking carni pellets
occasional: shrimp/tilapia

I actually notice a huge difference in "stability" after i feed them pellets rather than shrimp/tilapia
