I cant get bloodworms around here, Do you think at that size they will eat freeze dried blood worms? or should i just cut up peices of shrimp?

Variety is the best thing that you can do to for the diet of a fish that you are trying to grow out. Change it up every night.

count my 2 dats in, i have a pair of indos, 1 is about 1" and the other is about 3/4". im feeding blood worms, brine shrimp, market shrimp, and freeze dried plankton. here's a pic of the bigger one... i wanna get another one maybe today.

Do you have some more pics so we can check out his body and pattern? It's hard to see him in that pic.

It's cool that so many people are starting to pick these guys up.

lemme try to take some new ones so everyone can see the actual patterns. and i never really saw the beauty in dats til i joined this site. they add such delicacy to a setup. and they look sick. my lfs had some big ones last year for around 30 bux but i didnt kno what they were so i passed them up. gimme like 10 mins for update pics.

edit: yah my camera sucks. i can't focus in on this lil tiny fish. it jus keeps coming out really blurry and i think im stressing them out because they went all black lol. ill keep trying n if i get some better ones ill post em up.

Yeah, I just recently got on the day kick too. But, I haven't really seen too many around here until now.

Just try and get a pic whenever you can w/o stressing them out. It took me a while to get the one I had. They are quick little things and being sooooo small doesn't help.

being small is the worst part. but 1 thing that irritates me but makes me laugh, is whenever im near the tank he looks me straight in the eye. face to face. everywhere i turn or look hes still lined up perfectly head on with me. he wont turn sideways lol
