I have 5 1-1.5 inch red bellies. I would like everyone to rate my diet. Ratings will be out of ten... example 10/10, 9/10 ext. Feel free to comment on how I am doing or what else I should be feeding. Thanks.

Here are their foods. I feed them 3 times a day.
1. Frozen Krill
2. Blood Worms, frozen and freeze dried
3. Color Enhancing Fish Flakes
4. Raw Shrimp
5. Tilapia
6. Hikari Bio-Gold+ Pellets
7. Frozen Beefheart Gumdrops
How am I doing? Please rate my p's diet.
 
Pretty good I'd say, no feeders and as long as the beefheart is less than 2x a mont your good....I may add some catfish or silversides too

Agreed, everything looks good if you keep the beefheart to a treat every now and then, I wouldnt put it as part of their main diet. Also the bloodworms are OK while they are young but they wont even bother with them once they get a little larger. Looks good!
 
you got 7 diet. before i rate your diet i would like to know how do you have them with each diet> ? please let me know.

That is what they get fed. All of the number. I dont see what you mean.
 
seems good no problems. but only about once a month with the beef heart.
mussels are good food for them aswell
 
I feed beefheart like once or twice a week. I do the shrimp kril and tilapia like once a day or every other. I do flakes, pellets, and blood worms everyday.
 
souond good.

if im in your shoes with 7 of those diet. here is i would do. Monday to Friday feed them raw shrimp for the whole week. Don't feed them Sat. Start from Sunday feed them talapia for the whole week, and again don't feed them on Sat. Sunday start a new diet for whole week. etc...

but this just me. your diet sound good.
 
I would feed them less often but the mix is good.
