Best food for Jardini?
- Thread starter RedestWing
- Start date
i was feeding my Jardini a lot of shrimp until i looked at the back of the package. It turns out shrimp is really high in cholesterol. fish might not have the same problems that humans do with cholesterol but I still don’t want to take any chances.
So right now I’m feeding him beef heart, smelt, crickets, mice, pellets and once any a while I’ll drop in some shrimp

Hmmm.....Yeah and I am sure shrimp does not float 
My Jar still runs for the hills when I get close to the tank, lets everyone else get the food and then looks at me like "wheres mine" 
My Jar still runs for the hills when I get close to the tank, lets everyone else get the food and then looks at me like "wheres mine" The coloration of your fish will depend on environmental factors (more than food, in my opinion) such as tank size, water temperature, rate at which NH3 are being degraded, etc.
I feed mine pellets, occasional feeders, and market shrimp but do notice noticeable growth on it (you can kinda tell by looking at newly added layer on the fin with slight bluish hue on it) after feeding feeders.

no its actually more on food
we already strive to keep our water in tip top shape, but always over look the diet.
i encourage the use of feeders (limit the GF) in the diet.
juuuuuuuuust watch out for disease though.
I was feeding at first Rosie Reds and Guppies, just to get him to eat at first the got him on to other things.... but was gonna try lil frogs
If you're going to offer the jar warmwater and temperate water feeders such as guppies, rosey reds, and farmed feeder goldfish, then also offer it pieces of coldwater fish such as trout. Fish living in cooler waters contain higher amounts of omega-3 that will help reduce the effects of a high cholesterol diet.
BTW, frozen raw shell-on shrimp are not as high in cholesterol as was previously believed. Newer testing methods show the actual cholesterol content to be negligible and even people on low-cholesterol diets have shrimp back on the menu.
