50 1" Red Belly P's

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I got 6 RBP about 4 weeks ago, a couple of them were the size of a dime I think they are at least 4 times the size, I was surprised how fast they grow - but they are cute when there are little though.

Their doing great!!!!!!!!!!!!! They just eat alot. They have eaten 8 jumbo shirmps in the last 36 hours. Can't wait to get rid of some, before they eat me out of house and home. My Silver aro eats 5 shrimps, RTC eats 4 shrimps, My cichlid tank gets 3 shrimps, my 3 jars get a total of two, and the piranhas get 3 shrimp at a time. Luckly the farmer had a going out of business sale and had shrimp on sale for like 70%off. I got those bags of shrimp that cost $55 regularly that come with like 40 jumbo shrimp. I ended up walking out of the grocery store with $1000 worth of seafood for $300

stupid question - the shrimp your talking about is it just shrimp you get at grocery store? and if it is do you shell them first. My RBP right now are eating up the feeders I put in the tank to condition it before I put them in. I don't want to feed live but I have been feeding bloodworms & other stuff from pet store but they eat that then go after the feeders too don't seem to slow down on the eating. Or do you have any other suggestions?

Common man that was rude. The only stupid question is a question that was not asked.


The answer is yes, the ones at the grocery store.
 
You can leave the shell on, and it would be better for them, but if they can't bite through it, go ahead and take the shells off.

How are the ones you kept doing Tony? I hope they're growing in leaps and bounds!!
