silver sides?

[iloveoscars702]

well since i added a new ornate bichir(only eats silver sides) my two orinos seem to only like silver sides now... they used to eat fd krill or market shrimp.. but now they will only eat silver sides... but my question is... are silver sides healthy to feed constantly? would it be better if i stuffed some pellets in them?

It would be best if you stuffed pellets in them for variety, but silver sides are a pretty good staple diet on their own.

Starve it, it'll succumb eventually.

I use smelt it's like silver side except way cheaper, $1.99 a lb.
Or you can go to the store and get blue or silver anchoives and the are close to the same size as silver side and again way cheaper. Varying the diet it's best for the color of you fish.

hey are anchovies silversides cause i can catch a bunch of them when we have the runs.

silversides are relatively high in sodium, but i'm not sure if that's detrimental towards a pbass's health.

Dependens on the company "silver side" is a broad trem, Harkari's "silver side" are anchoives, but Orgeon Desert's are not.
