What do you feed your snakheads?

[Cohazard]

I really dig the stickies in this section but I noticed there is no sticky which addresses feeding, maybe I over looked it.

Is there variation between what each species should be fed?


Thank you for your information

not really they're all predatory and will accept any kind of fish meat.

Do pelleted foods, especially those by hikari such as cichlid bio gold plus, and massivore, make good staple diets?

many will indeed accept pellets , and the hikari ones seam to be taken the easiest . there is quite little variation of food intake between all the ones in the sticky , however there are two main types of snakehead , fish eaters and crustation eaters . you make a valid point and i will go back through the one i have altered (the one iam still updating ) and add the typical stomach contents found on inspection of wild caught specamins.

i personally find that most snakeheads in aquaria do very well on a mixture of pellets , shrimp , prawn , and worms as found at the local bait shop .

cheers col

Mine only accept feeder guppies. That's why i feed my feeder guppies the best pellets i can find. I have my own guppy farm.
