well, they didnt go for the shrimp pellets, so ill see if they like those when they r bigger, but the whole tank certainly loves their bloodworms! i watched them get visibly fatter while eating, and they just kept on going lol. at least i know i can feed them on that, which is not that badly priced.

you will love these guys... i just think everything about them is so cute.. the way they play..bounce their food around..they are adorable..good luck
thats great...and blood worms are fine for when they are this small.. they will expand their taste buds as they mature... mine love cooked shrimp.. i shred up the shrimp so it is in tiny bite size pieces..they actually are wanting me to hand feed now... because of the shrimpnitrofish1;4057800; said:
oh don't worry about that they will.. they like everything once they are older.. just keep the diet varied... so they really thrive with good nutrition..mine eats the hikarie pellets up like a dog.. haha.nitrofish1;4058561; said:
im waiting til they r a few inches bigger to try the shrimp pellets. they wont eat them now, but im watching them get bigger on bloodworms daily.Red Devil;4058584; said:
thats the way to do it.. just try them now and then as they grow... just make sure to take out all uneaten food... so if they don't eat it don't leave it... your going to enjoy the bichirs for a long time
