Feeding Frozen Krill

[EmilyMarie85]

Started feeding my clowns frozen krill recently. They eat everything except for the legs -- so I end up with a bunch of little krill legs allover the place and end up having to do a vacuum after krill days -- they even get in my wave makers grill and I have to clean that! -- anyone else have this problem??

I have other fish in the tank that eat up the legs, so don't have this prob. But I first started feeding krill just a couple of days ago, and dang do they love that stuff!

Either the loaches got desperate last night or someone else ate the legs. I left them in yesterday, just to see what would happen and did not feed last night. Got up this morning and all the legs were gone. Guess I will just need to change my feeding schedule so that krill days are before a fast day. My loaches love the krill too - it is really cute to see a loach swimming around with a krill hanging out its mouth <3

i can't imagine they'd leave anything... Makes sense that they tidy up if left to it.

I imagine they'll get the picture in a little while, so long as they're (krill) aren't going foul or generally accumulating.
My clowns still haven't figured out the California Red Wrigglers (earthworms) are tasty. With the cats & tetras & angels the worms don't last long, but if/when they do they live in the substrate until the other loaches dig 'em out.
