feeding RBTA

eyedoc · 04/11/2008, 09:20 AM

I had to put a RBTA in a tank with low light.
I want to target feed it to help, something like Kent zooplankton or phytoplankton.
It is in an office tank where I would not be able to give frozen products.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I feed mine silversides....they do like "meaty" foods. Try shrimp pellets or something. And you do realize that they get about a foot or more in diameter.

it is going to really need more of a meat source for food if you plan on trying to keep it under lower lights. feed it silversides every couple of days. and YES it will get big if it survives
