Well, ive had my baby RTC (only about 3" now) for about 2 weeks, and noticed he was VERY skinny, to skinny. At first i didn't know how to feed him, so i just threw in some tetra variety wafers that sink... but always found them on the bottom uneaten. This really scared me and made me very sad that i knew he was probably starving, especially the one night he swam around the tank trying to eat my tiger oscar 7+" lol.

So i went to my LFS and bought a pair of feeding tongs and some krill (the tongs are so i can feed him IE: the krill don't sink) That night, i slowly lowered the krill down towards him and BAM in an instant 5 krill were devoured. His stomach was HUGE he then went back under his driftwood for about an hour to digest and then happily swam around his tank. :)
 
Any other suggestions on some good nutrition for him? i heard fresh market shrimp are great also
 
Glad to hear you managed to get it eating.
 
I fed my RTC shrimp all the time and the colors on it was awesome. I sold it a few years ago but if I had the room I would do it all over again.
 
:iagree:
