firefish Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I got some the other day and i've been feeding them the usual sinking tablets and i haven't seen any of them eating yet. Whats best to feed them? What do they like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzoom1 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I find they best like the sinking algae eating tablets. Although saying that, they come out at night time and eat all the left over food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Yeah, i've been watching them at night too. . I don't have any of the algae tables atm, what brand is best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzoom1 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I don't know which one is the best... But I use the Aquarian brand tablets and everyone seems to love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I don't feed mine any particular food - they eat what the other fish eat (flake, crisps, frozen bloodwords, brine shrimp, cucumber etc. - what ever floats down to the bottom of the tank), though occasionally I'll feed them sinking pellets or algae pellets (if the silver dollars don't get them first :roll: ) I see all 6 of my khulies at feeding time which is anytime between 5pm and 8pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkie Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 i have 3 types in my tank and they are constantly out swimimng around the front of the tank.i feed blood worm white worm algae tabs and trout crumbles.but when i first got them i didnt see them at all for the first couple of weeks and after that they got more confident.its a heavily planted tank with lots of drift wood and a few rocks.

firefish Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I see mine, but i don't see mine eating. enzoom1: I went out and brought some algae tablets (Aquarian and Hikari) fingers crossed that they eat them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I feed mine snails, otherwise they just eat whatever falls to the bottom of the tank at feeding time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowfax Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 give them a chance to settle in & then you'll see them out & eating whenevers theres food in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindy500 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 mine shoot around the middle of the tank and eat the flake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtur Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I never used to to see mine eating except when I had put bloodworm in the tank, they loved that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy29 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 just make sure that they cant get up into filter tubes as they are very good at that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 The tank they're in has a sponge filter, so that can't happen. I have seen on eating So i'm sure that they're eating food behind my back. Its the algae tablets that i saw 1 eat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
