Hi guys, I know wes brought in some Leptos in the past and for those who bought them or has them from other sources id like to ask u guys some questions. See im planning to get a few 4 inchers and wondering what should they b fed with and any other important infos that i should know.

An early thanks for comments and inputs.
 
You should check Wes' thread about them if you have'nt already.He gets into his whole experience of traveling to collect these fish and he also covers how best to keep them and what to feed them....How much do they cost in your area?

Shoot MissMasPoly a PM.She has a few from Wes' first batch.
 
Thanks guys for all the input. The fishes are in the tank and are greedily eatin bloodworms.

I still appreciate more inputs of any kinds to care better for these beautiful fishes. Thx guys.
 
I have MissMasPoly's old one and have had it for close to a year. It is now eating silvers sides and seems to like them on the slightly rotten side. It will eat krill, mysis, worms, but smelly silversides it goes nuts for. It loves blackworms, but those are a pain and I stopped feeding those after I got it on other foods.
 
I recently purchased a 4" specimen. He's been eating Tetra bits from the start.
Also discus formula New Life Spectrum.
He tends to hide during the day among my driftwood, so I use a turkey baster and direct feed him with it. I do this twice/day.
