I currently have a total of x9 Indo Datnoid only 3 out of 9 eats hikari pellets and Hai-Feng pellets, but for the most part all of them is eating frozen San Francisco Bay bloodworms and Hikari krills. I feed them 3 times a day, morning before i go to work I feed them pellets, later on during the day when I get home from work I feed them frozen bloodworms (optional) and before the light goes out frozen krills.
The reason I use alternative food is because the NTT will only eat frozen krills and my Redtail Giant Gourami (aka Piggy) only eats pellets, therefore I use a varieties of food plus it also provide different nutrient for the baby Indo.
