My datnoids are around 1" i have 8 of them. I was just wondering how many times a day i should feed them frozen brine shrimp. They come in those little cubes and my datnoids eat it within a minute and there bellys are nice and fat. I was just wondering how many times a day I should give them a cube of it. I was thinking when i wake up at 6:00 than when I get home at around 6:00. or before i go to bed.
 
Feed em as much as they will eat, i get mine to eat about 4+ meals a day on the weekends when im home. They eat like pigs, I got 11 in a 55G. what tank size u using?

Mine love bloodworms, and brine shrimp not so much, im getting mysis soon.
 
They are in a 20gallon right now with 2 aquaclears and a sponge filter rated for 55-75 gallon tanks. They get water changes either 1-2 times a week at 50% and are geeting vita chem also in there food and water.

So feeding them twice a day would be fine?
 
Yea DEF sufficient.. you know the general rule of thumb, "more you feed; the faster they grow" but its completely up to you, sounds like a good diet, as long as u try and vary every now and then. Good luck MILKMAN
 
I feed them some worms every now and then, but they will only be in this 20gallon for a couple more weeks than moved to a 135gallon. When I started feeding them this shrimp there colors got so much more stable and all are looking amazing and I can already see an amazing growth in only 1 week.

thanks for the help!
 
Yea, I would be doing w/c's evey day but my dad unplugged my python.
