Re: fish food
I agree with you about killies eating crustaceans RJ.
A few years ago I had some wild M. lacortei that would not eat my salmon/cat
food- based paste food. But they went wild over live daphnia. After I saw
that, I purchased some freeze dried krill powder and made a new paste food
around that as a base. The M. lacortei ate that with gusto, so it is now my
standard food for my South American annuals, Corys, tetras ,etc.
