Re: [Killietalk] Fruit Flies

["J. C." <hillbillynursery at yahoo_com>]

  The golden wonders and other top feeding killies
love them. I put a small golden wonder into my other
tanks to get them trained to eating the fruit flies.
All my fish including the nothos(hardest to train to
date) eat fruit flies now. I just shake the fries on
the water surface and move on. I never chill them
before feeding them and never tried to get them to go
below the water surface.
