I ran out of food for the last week because my food order seems to have got lost in the post and they don't sell the ones I buy here locally. I am sorting the problem out with the sender so I should receive it next week.
So I decided in the meantime to feed just prawns until I receive proper food. So my tanks have been getting shredded prawns and various veg now for the last week and I am proud to say the clowns finally figured its food.
I think they just weren't used of such food because I had only tried it once a week or so before and they turned up their noses on it. Now they are piling up and snatching the pieces from the water column. Tough luck for them, nothing else to eat
My corys in another tank also started spawning after the protein avalanche
I am a bit terrified of the tank water going bad but I normally do 50% water changes weekly and all is fine.
Thanks clownloachman. That's a pretty comprehensive list. I've tried quite a few of these and from the veg mushrooms and pears didn't get touched by any fish, even by my pleco who is a pig. Hikari wafers were indeed a hit. I used to buy them regularly some years ago but started buying the New Life spectrum as staple then. All the other veg and fruit are really accepted. Another one not on the list that they really love is mango. I must try some of the seafood stuff on the list.Clownloachman wrote:Prawns, courgette, cucumber, Hikari mini wafers always a favourite, bloodworm, live earthworms, mussels, crabstick, seafood roll, broccoli stalks, mushrooms, shrimp tablets, cauliflower, Mellon, bloodworm pellets, new era grazing rings, squid rings, peppers, pear, just a few things my lot will take to
