Sinking Krill.

[Ruii]

is there such things as sinking krill? as i want to feed my RTC and Endi as they are bottom feeders

Buy it frozen, not freeze dried.

i think frozen are abit troublesome..... hmmm can you introduce me a kind of food that i can feed my aros and endi ?
my aros wont dive for food they need it to be floting above for sometime.
i can't feed market prawn.. as they are scared of me when i throw it in and they wont dive for it.

Err.. So, the polly and cat are bottom feeders and the aro is top? Frozen is too much trouble? You're gonna have to feed two different foods, then.

Hold freeze-dried krill in water. Squeeze and/or break piece up. If you do it right it should compress and push the air out making the piece sink.

Otherwise multiple foods (which is usually a good thing anyways).

i usually take a small cup and fill it with water. Squeeze the krill inside to remove the air

I did the krill-squeezing method for a long time for my bottom feeders, and it was a lot of extra work, and pretty time consuming, as well. IMO, it is better to just get the aro on floating pellets and give the bottom feeders something that will sink on its own (frozen krill, shrimp, fish, sinking pellets, etc.).

Btw, I would think when keeping an RTC, feeding it frozen krill would be the least troublesome factor to worry about.
