Is it okay to feed the babies ones...1-2 inches
With tubflex worm ?
I usually feed them live shrimp but sometimes they are too big for the babies.
And I got one that recently died . I bought him with a bit of sunken stomach , well I guess what the hell.
After a day, I put some blood worm in and he ate like no tomorrow ,
The next day he just died. Although I did notices his gills are abit red. Both side.

Is there anyone that could enlighten me ? I am new at this

If those two died in such a short span of time after getting them home I'm inclined to suspect that they must have been already ailing from something.Your water is clean and well filtered yes?

 

[whitechicks7]

Yes it's clean and my
Water is good the others are doing just fine.

Yeah,that fish must have been sick already.

Red gills usually means your water is too acidic meaning low ph, or you have too much ammonia in the water. Did frequent water changes?

Should be okay but I guess you would have to give them quite a bit per feeding.They are small worms right?

Market prawn. they can tear them into smaller pieces

Feeding tubifex worms are ok. But it will be better and more nutritious if you managed to get them on pellets or cut up market prawns.
