I wish mine did
Hopefully that changes in the near future. I'd like them to have a nice balanced diet for a change!

Most of them are 2 inches or more.sinister j;1048331; said:Either starve them out and just be patient. Archers also make great teachers for eating other foods. Do you have all indos? If so, they are the most acceppting of various foods. Try feeding bloodworms or krill until they reach 2". And to tell you the truth, An all krill/shrimp diet is not all that bad. You'll notice nice orange coloration on fins and excellent growth
Ours would never eat bloodworms. They started out on brine shrimp when we bought them and everyone said "get bloodworms! they'll love them!".beachman22;1048575; said:Ya, after my Dats reached about 1.5" they wouldn't even look a bloodworms. They're just too small for them to bother with i think. But feeding them krill seems to have bulked them up alot. I also noticed that feeding them large pieces, sometimes whole krill, really speeds up their growth.
Yeah. Clowns are pretty nosy, so if they see someone else eating they usually want a part of it, lol. They have a great sense of smell too, so that probably has something to do with it.toehead11183;1049284; said:my fish induce the clowns. they start feeding which brings out the CLs
Frozen Krill is sooo much cheaper and you can get bigger batches..........ShadowBass;1047363; said:Yeah I usually have plenty of krill, I just didn't realize how low I was on it, it runs out so quick. I ordered the biggest can possible offa drs foster and smith on thursday, so it should be here tomorrow.
The only reason I'm feeding dry is because not all of them will eat the frozen (yeah weird, I know, it's all krill ). I did have a bunch of frozen krill at one time, but it ended up going to my other fish because the dats didn't care for it.Yakuza-Irezumi;1049565; said:Frozen Krill is sooo much cheaper and you can get bigger batches..........
