[Killietalk] Fruit Flies

["David Ramsey" <djramsey at earthlink_net>]

Which killies actually eat fruit flies? I have had them several times and
none of my fish would eat them unless I went to a lot of trouble to get the
fly to sink. They just floated on the water line, basically invisible to my
fish. None of my Fundulopanchax or Aphyosemion ever ate them floating on the
top. I would put the culture in the refrigerator until the flies slowed
down, then sprinkle them in the tank. They just floated there until they
warmed up and crawled out. If I poked them down in the water and they stayed
stuck to my finger the killies would eat them. But really a slow
unproductive way to feed fish.
