Re: Feeding Flake

[Joel Antkowiak <mrkillie at optonline_net>]

I give all of my killies, and all of my other fish as well, flakes and
frozen foods, along with pelleted/granule foods and occasional live. Among
the killies I have currently that are eating flakes are: Gnatholebias
zonatus, Nematolebias whitei, Notho. kilomberoensis, N. rubripinnis, N.
guentheri Red & Gold; A. hera, A. australe, A. ogoense Kimono yellow, A.
fulgens, Riv. sp. paryagi, Fundulo. deltaense, Fundulo. gardneri Makurdi,
Ps. annulatus, Ep. dageti, Apl. lineatus. However, when I want eggs, I
usually go to frozen and live foods exclusively.
