They definitely like some veg in their diet. I feed mine a mix of 40% shrimp 10% salmon 25% green beans 15% peas 10% spinach, all pureed together (10 lbs at a time).

depending on how big your escondido is you could toss in some earthworms or gut loaded crickets. other than that your diet for it sounds pretty good, like josh said they like veggies too.

Mine eat frogbit for their vegetation desires.. and I mean they EAT it. ALong with that I give them quality flake food, hikari gold sinking pellets, and bloodworms.


Morning - pellets
Midday - flakes
Late afternoon - pellets
early evening - bloodworms


They graze on the frogbit when they like... which seems to be pretty dang often.
