hi guys well i bought a half inch rhom finally after a long wait ... see im from Ireland so all i get is red bellies and have kept some for 4 years only recently getting rid of them to try something different and i came across the baby rhom he's so small i had to buy a cheap hanging filter because the current was 2 much for the little guy :D anyways he is getting on well in an 30g just till he grows that is anyway i was just wondering what else to feed him while so small loves the blood worms but at that size im just not sure what else to give him ... 4th day now and settled great i'll get a pic up soon as my cam can pic him up lol ...... thanks
 
Get the fish to take pellets, I like NLS and they have pellets in various sizes too so it shouldn't be a problem for the fish to eat even at a small size.

Out of curiosity, do you have any pics of the little guy?
 
Get em started on shrimp and tilapia fillets. A side from the pellets great choices for healthy diet. congrats on the pick up!
 
At that tiny size I'd recommend live blackworms, and add alot of small (tiny) fish in the tank with him. Like various tetras so he can nip on some fins, feeder guppies etc. When he gets a little bigger you can sub with raw fish/meat etc. Congrats.
 
no pics yet cant get a decent one in the tank ill grab him in the net and snap a pic tomorrow thanks for the replys i put some guppies in today he was straight after them :) so funny at this size
 
Welcome to the forums and congrats...
