when i bought my fuzzy dwarf lion, the LFS said he was eating guppies at the time. i asked them if they tried feeding anything else and they just stared at me lke "you can do that" anyways iv tried feeding him frozen silversides.. they were to big so i cut them up into little pieces about the size of a guppy.. he swims right up to them and follows it to the floor and just watches it.. so then i tried a feeding stick.. he got scared and ran away (clear stick) he dosent like mysis shrip eaith (put mysis in for other fish)
so i was wondering is it possibly to just gutload the guppys with some type of marine food and him still get the nutrients he needs? iv been doing that so far but im not sure if he's actually getting anything out of it or if im just wasting fish food..
the guppies have been being feed " hikari Marine -S-"
the analysis for the food is
Crude protein min. 48% typical. 52%
Crude fat. 8.0%
Oil 12%
Crude fiber max. 4.0% typical 1.3%
Moisture max. 10%
Crude ash max. 19% typical 15%
Phosphorus min. 1.0% typical 2.0%
Added vitamins and minerals:
Vit A - 19,900 IU/lb
Vit C - 72.6 mg/lb
Vit D3 - 3,990 IU/lb
Vit E - 454 mg/lb
copper sulfate - 8.17 mg/lb
some of the ingredients are fish meal, krill meal, silkworm pupa meal, dried seaweed meal, spirulina, DHA. (just a few main one..)
Thanks for any help and i didnt know if you needed the info on the food but maybe it will help or recomend a different food based on analysis
