Hey MFKers,

I went fish shopping at Segrest farms this week, and one of my impulse buys was 2 male scarlet badis (Dario dario). Once I got these tiny fish home (1/2"-3/4" each, and fully grown) I did some research on them and found that they won't eat flakes or pellets.

So my question is: what do I feed my scarlet badis? I think frozen brine / mysis might be a bit too large for them. Is it easy to find frozen daphnia? Are there any other alternatives?

My other impulse buys: Black ghost knife, 2 dwarf puffers (they were only 99 cents), 4 more celebese rainbowfish, and 5 clown loaches. All are currently in quarantine tanks.
 
Mine eat flakes. That is the only thing I have ever feed them. I have had them for months so they must be eating it. I grind it up very fine before giving it to them,but they eat it.
 
mine eat flakes as well and chopped up blood worm chunks
