I have a display tank in my living room which includes Epiplatys Chaperi Angona, E. Sexfasciatus Elongatus, and Fundulopanchax Mirabilis. They all eat flake food with gusto. The Chaperi charge my hand as soon as I come near the water. In my other tanks, both the Epiplatys and my Cyprinadon Alvarezi eat dry food as well.
