Diet

[frusterdated]

I have 2 severums, 5 geo tapajos and 11 serpae tetras in my 100 gallon tank. I currently feed them new life spectrum pellets and hikari algae wafers. What else should i add into their diet? Ive tried to give the freeze dried bloodworms in the past, but its difficult because they do not sink.

Thanks

NLS, NLS, NLS.
I also use Tetracolor pellet.
(Once a week) occasional treat with Mysis or Brine shrimps. They would love it.

The occasional frozen food is appreciated (try a few different things out, they all enjoy variety) as well as fresh stuff. Try dicing a few fresh shrimp, chopping some earthworms from Academy or were left over from fishing. Dicing up some liver/heart from the weird package in whole chickens is adored. Lots of options if you keep an eye out for stuff you normally use and just throw away. I've even been digging in the garden and fed my stuff grubworms/earthworms/crickets/grasshoppers if they were big enough to take them.

Yes, I do feed them fresh shrimp once in a while when I have time. They go nutz.
Is earthworm safe to feed them? After the rain, I see ton of them crawling around on concrete pavement.

do the frozen foods, worms and hearts float or sink? the freezed drieds stuff doesnt sink and would usually just get taken up by the overflow.

[ptran]

Slow sinking just like NLS . Your fish will gobble them up before wasting to overflow.

whats being fed here around the 45 second mark?

Also can someone identify the yellow fish in this video for me please?

thanks

Not sure on the food, but the yellow fish look like rummy nose tetras

[barrettsline]

The tetras are rummy nose tetras. The only other different fish is a brichardi.

The food is probably something special put together by the video maker.

They said Rummy Nose on the comment session. Looks like frozen food: maybe blood worm?
