I've had my archerfish for about 31hrs now and they seem to be desperatly hunting. The only problem is that I'm currently in a situation where I have a massive ammonia spike and I was told by the LFS that I should refrain from feeding for about 2-3 days. I'm on my second day and I know they're hungry because one of them happened to catch a little fly that got into the tank.
My NH3 levels are reading between 4.0-8.0ppm, yet the fish are active and eating w/zero signs of stress.
When is it safe to feed them? I have several feeding options available to me. I have live mealworms, live baby crickets, and frozen bloodworms. Seems to me the bloodworms would be the messiest. The crickets might lose a leg or 2 during the consumption, and the mealworms will be forced to go down whole.
How much longer do I need to wait to feed them? They're acting like they're starving.
Thanks in Advance.
