4" CK diet?

[Drizzt]

I have a 4" CK. What kind of diet do you guys think I should put him on? The place I got him from said they had the CK's on flakes, pellets, and blood worms. I haven't seen him eat yet, I have tried pellets. Maybe frozen blood worms? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Hao. Were yours that small when you first got them? What size tank did you grow them out in?

mine at that size i fed live ( rosies ) once it reached 8 to 10 " i started introducing other foods into its diet but only after it was healthy and well passed the sensitive size.

Had CKs,GCKs,RCK,ACKs @ 4"-5". Grew them out in a 100g. Grew hella fast! My ACK's grew from 4" to 12"-14" in 4-5 months or so. My GCK was similar growth.

Well libayn I decided to follow your advice and threw in 20 rosies. The CK and Giant Gourami both look like they've eaten a few already.

I'd start with feeders and/or bloodworms before weaning onto other foods. Especially when they're that small.

keep us updated on how they are progressing
