Best Diet for Archers, Scats, and Monos?

[rza_mib7]

Hey anybody know whats the best diet for archers scats and monos...?? I usually just give them marine flakes, frozen bw, brine shrimp and krill. Also the archers get crickets and mealworms. i was just wondering if they can eat like vegetables too like peas and lettuce. Anyone have any luck feeding veggies?

Scats are pretty voracious, they'll eat vegetation like plants pretty easily, dunno about peas or lettuce though. Monos will probably pick on it.

Archers probably won't eat it though, although you could try.

I have 4 Mono Sebae in my brackish tank. Besides the foods you mentioned, mine also get seaweed, pellets and sometimes bits of tilapia fillet. I had no luck getting them to eat peas or lettuce.

You will be amazed at what your scats do to lettuce!

You seem to be giving them nice variety. Mine get mostly earth worms, cichlid sticks/nuggets, and shrimp (feeders and grocerystore).

I also drop in lettuce boiled peas, and zuccini slices for the scats.

You guys mention seaweed...is it the frozen kind, dried seaweed, or fresh?

I use dried seaweed from my LFS.

It took a couple of days for my monos to figure out the seaweed was food. I never see them eating it but when I come home from work, the seaweed is almost gone and the monos have bulging bellies. You got any pics of your monos?
