Food items for pseudacanticus?

Post by Dr.UltraScarlet »

I was hoping you might give me some inspiration on what to feed my four L025, the ones I have been able to spot seems to like mussels very much and the shrimp was accepted too. I have tried pelled pees + blood worms as well, I think some of the pees have been eating but I havent been able to tel if they eat the blood worms at all. Its only a few days since I got them and I want to make sure I do my best to kickstart the smaller ones, probably the two females:) have seen the buttom of one of them and it looks like an ovipositur too me.
I have ordered some hikare wafers + carnivore, but since I orderd 1 kg packets it take forever to come...I will probably get some pictures tonight though they are still abit dull looking. They are certainly pretty and will probably be really good looking when they settle in and get some cartenoids.

Will appreciate any help .

Kind regards Jonas

:D :D Good luck wit some beautiful fish. The easiest thing for me in the past has been to start feeding them frozen hikari bloodworms,and a good vegetable mixed flake food. Once again good luck!!!! :D :D

Hi Jonas,

gratulations tzo your catfish-group.

Most people from Denmark are familiar with the german language. You might find some info's there:

(or find a friend to translate?)

Take also a look at the two threads "catfishfood from the kitchen" part 1 (vegatairan) and part 2 (carnivorous).
best regards
