Let me know if you ever find out what that food was and if yours is taking it. Would love to get my schoutedeni on pellets. He will nibble on Hikari Carnivore but spit it out. Has zero interest in any other dry food. Tried making “worms” out of Repashy but that was a fail. Not sure what the hype is because NONE of my fish like any flavor of Repashy. Stuff seems awesome so I wish they’d eat it.
I feed my guy bladder and ramshorn snails, raw market shrimp (he hates frozen krill...looks cooked since it’s pink, won’t touch brine shrimp), he will eat dry krill once in a blue moon, won’t touch clams/cockles (minced or whole), ate a piece of crab, will nibble bloodworms, ignores silversides, and relishes ghost shrimp and live blackworms. Although, he’s a jerk and will only eat half a blackworm and spit out the rest and makes a whole pile of half bitten worms..lol. Scuds is a great idea...gonna order some. I’m going to try mealworms next.
Also, I cannot seem to breed enough snails as hel plows through them and it takes forever for them damn snails to grow. Gonna start a colony of cherry shrimp and/or try and breed some crayfish.
Tip: since I sometimes run out of snails, I make sure I freeze the market shrimp and cut it into a little cubes and feed it to him right away, when it’s rock solid, instead of soft and thawed. Hoping this will give him a little extra crunch biting through the frozen shrimp. Hoping it helps keep his teeth trim.
