Just picked up three of these little guys (tems?) about a week ago. Was told that they wouldn't eat anything but live, but absolutely devoured some frozen blood worms almost right out of the bag. Took some pics today though. They're a little blurry....

I think there monos, mine eats feeders and beefheart.
 
nice fish!!!! probably monos cause they have a monos head shape.. look a bit skinny... fatten them up!!! and post lots of pics
 
Yeah, I wasn't sure on the whole tem idea. That's what they were sold as, but I had my doubts, especially at the price.
 
Not temensis for sure. Look like they ned a good meal though... Some feeders would fill their bellies quicker than frozen bloodworms, IMHO. Anyways, nice pick up. :thumbsup:

Best regards.

Daniel.
 
Yeah, definately needed some food. I've been feeding a combo of feeder danios, bloodworms, and frozen krill 2-3 times a day. They seem healthy, albeit a bit thin, and have probably the strongest feeding response of any fish I've kept. Really cool fish.
 
Look good. Nice monos.

Time to start pumping them up :thumbsup:

sounds like you should be able to fatten them up pretty quickly :thumbsup: good luck with them.

just a note, if you powerfeed them for a week or so and they still look skinny you might want to treat for internal parasites. :) hopefully that won't be necessary though. :thumbsup:
 
Nice. Feed them well.
