	Blue rams...... what should I feed them?
jack999 Hobbyist Posts: 117 Kudos: 397 Votes: 29 Registered: 20-Feb-2004	I just ordered a m/f pair for my 29g community tank. I typically feed flakes and shrimp pellets, adding frozen brine shrimp, freeze dried bloodworms and algae wafers for variety. Is that sufficient for the blue rams as well or will they need something different?

They also like the Hikari Micro Pellets I give the tetras, as well as frozen bloodworms and daphnia, and live mosquito larvae. They pretty much ignore algae wafers, but your milage may vary.

You should also trie live food sutch as brin shrimp and bloodworn you could also give them frozen blackworm (very high in protein) good luck ! Darryle

They will order whatever you want provided it's available through their supplier. Their prices are fairly competitive also. Here's their website if you want to check them out.
