Chopped earthworms are popular, as are blackworms and other little water insect larvae. |

keithgh    *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003  | 1st_signer Callatya is 110% correct it will depend on the fish and their sizes. One thing that must be done is a big and varied diet (how would you like the same food every day for most of your life.) Think as if the fish are wild fish what would they eat. I think you would find they would eat any thing they can get as they never know when the next meal is coming. Have a look at My Profile and you will see all the things I have tried over the years. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes. |
