Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hello,
First post, so if I am do something incorrectly let me know and I will learn from it.
I have a cold water (no heater) aquarium that I have been using to raise a small Bluegill I caught last year. I want to keep his home natural. Natural plants, rocks, etc. I have been feeding him red worms, mealworms, wax worms, and blood worms. The local aquarium shop recommended a Cichlid pellet to be added to his diet to provide plant vitamins/minerals. The only problem is he won't eat them. He as since eaten down all the natural plants that I put in the aquarium (harvested from his home pond). Occasionally, he gets picky with his food and won't eat the various worms and I feel it is because he is lacking the plant matter he needs. If it was spring/summer, I would just go get more natural plants, but since it is winter I can't do that. Any suggestions for a vegetable substitute that will provide those nutrients? I have tried Kale and he did not seem to like that. (spit it out)
Thanks
