Is Squid Good For RBP's??

[JayAllure]

I know RBP's can eat ANYTHING, but I also know everything isn't good for them either....but is squid good for them to have as a part of their diet?? Just curious...

I used to feed my rhom squid whenever I have available, it liked it.
I don't think there's issue with feeding squid as long as it's fresh and clean.

Yep, its a good source of protein as part of a varied diet. Mine love it.

was it a easy meal for them to get used too? I'm feeding my baby shrimp and I just switched them to brine shrimp & they love it more.....

 

[jp80911]

depends on the size of your fish. brine shrimp is really for fry or baby fish, IMO

try out big ole Krill

will do, I'm noticing they really don't enjoy pellets that much...they love shrimp, so I'm thinking of sticking to fish & add some squid to their diet...I think my fish are just "high maintenance"

Mine certainly prefer squid, shrimp, etc. over pellets, but I make sure the pellets make up the bulk of their diet. Its not as fun to feed, but the nutritional value is more important. Frozen foods are a treat two or three times a week.

As was said, make pellets their staple and everything else a treat a couple times a week

Cool, I'm still trying to get them to eat them...they haven't responded to the pellets as of yet.
