[aykinhk]

Hi,everyone
Finally I ve got my first baby sarartoga Jardini 4 weeks ago, it very active and eat well, settled very well after 2 day to new environment
ATM , IT ABOUT 8-10CM, I KEEP in a 55 gal grow out tank with 1 flagtail and 1 albino tinfoil barb (same size) nothing aggressive happen now.
Will that able keep them together a long run, i have 220gal ready for them in the future
Also, I am feeding blood worms and dry frezzy mealworm at this stage everyday , will that be enough nutrientian
Any other food idea will help it boost grow??
Thanks

A 220 is not going to cut it long term. But that’s a beautiful fish beat of luck raising it

Add floating pellet to feeding rotation.

Don't feed live food until the fish learns to eat pellets.

Get them on pellets. Mine will wait for his favorite food. .but when he sees the other fish eating pellets he gives up and eats the pellets .
Don't feed it live fish or shrimp # 1 they can have a disease or parasites.
Pellets first then other meaty foods.
# 2 It's harder to pellet train a fish off live foods.
Try to get it to eat out of your fingers. It can be a blast. And it will learn anything in your fingers is food.
I have a Scleropages Jardiniiall
Allthoe they can gulp air, they still need and like super clean water.
