alanmin4304 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 It sometimes takes a while to train them to eat various foods but I think it is a good idea to get them used to the biggest range of food you can when they are young.

TimTam22 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks for the info, I already have frozen bloodworms, freeze dried bloodworms, freeze dried tubaflex (opps spelling), colour bits, two types of flakes and these other type of pellets and I do try to give all my fish something different every day. Is there any thing in that list I shouldn't give them?? I had microworms but didn't like them that much, so if I can get white worms I will (willing to pay + shipping) OH ALSO does anyone know where I can get BBS but not pay $55 (or is this a normal price)??????

Wok Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 If you have joined the NZKA you can get cheap tins of brineshrimp eggs. Or you could PM Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTam22 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 thanks for that I may try a small one first, any ideas how long some thing that big would last??? (one on the trademe link)?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 um not personally. Ive never tried them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 6gm. isn't much. Work out the cost per gm or ounce for a comparison of other prices. The smaller you get the dearer it becomes. Depending on how much you are using of course depends how long your supply lasts for. In my opinion, a lb tin is the way to go, and if stored in a refrigerator will last almost indefinately. By the way, I don't have any for sale at the moment, but the NZKA have tins for members only. What are the breeds of killies have you got??

TimTam22 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Well I put two large angels in there tank over night and when I woke up my male fighter and my four killies were dead So thats the end of that then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
