Lucipinnis diet

Post by igol66 »

Hi,

I am planning to buy a group of lucipinnis and just wanted to ask what exactly should I feed them?

I live in the UK, and brands of food would also be appreciated.

Thanks

Have you looked at the datasheet? It doesn't exactly list a number of brands, but it does show what the fish will eat.

It just says it will eat all prepared foods...

So "prepared food" means just about everything you buy from your LFS (local fish shop) - flakes, tables, granules, etc. And that they aren't particularly picky about what form...

Lucipinnis are really unfussy as to what they eat. Any flake, tablet , pellet or foodstick will be eaten - as will frozen foods (bloodworm, etc). Other things would be finely chopped shrimp, chopped earthworms, chopped mussel, cooked green beans. There is a lot to choose from!
