BK Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 What do people feed their whiptails? I've set up a breeding tank and rather than give them a bit of every thing would rather target their requirements. Also any other tips on bring them into spawning.

Loopy Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 i always found that mine love frozen shrimp. Brine shrimp for the fry. Breeding pairs like spawning behind a piece of slate leaning against the wall of the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I do nothing in particular, they eat a mixture of flake, cichlid and pleco pellets, and they spawn every 3 weeks like clockwork. I very much doubt brine shrimp are needed for the fry - mine just eat algae etc off the plants and glass and I'd be suprised if they could actually catch BBS in the water column.

Matthew Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 They do eat BBS - my babies used to have a bulging orange belly when I was feeding them. Make sure there are plenty of tight spaces for the whiptail to spawn in. Mine used to spawn in a bamboo tube of around 20-25mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
