I have a 5 inch male dovii that arrived from rapps yesterday and so far he is eating dried krill and hikari pellets,but what else do dovii owners feed them. are silversides ok
 
About to drop in some raw shrimp as I type as a treat. Main deit is Hikri Bio gold +. Also a couple times a week Massivore Delite and Krill as a treat.
 
silversides are good so is market shrimp or tilapia,,as long as you got a good pellet for his staple diet you will be fine.
 
thanks for the help everyone.. im going to go tonight and pick up some silversides and raw shrimp..if I feed him pellets daily how many times a week do you feed the shrimp,krill,silvers.......

I feed mine Krill and shrimp once a week. Then Hikari Bio gold + twice a day. Then feed Massivore once maybe twice a week. I need to add another pellet as part as the staple diet.

This is almost exactly what I do. I use 3mm NLS instead of the bio gold though.
 
I feed a mix of 3 different pellets daily (Gold, Bio Gold, & Aqueon) and a mix of 3 or more alternating frozen foods daily (Krill, Blood-worms, Beef heart, brine shrimp, glass-worms, & tubifex worms). I try to keep krill in the rotation for color.
