Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Morning,
I am a newbie with a 40b that has Red Neon Blue Eyed Rainbow Fish, Cory catfish a Bristlenose pleco, Oto's, Brown Kuhli Loaches, Blue Velvet and Amano shrimp and some snails.
I am hoping that my Red Neon's will eventually breed since they only live a short time.
My question is on live food - I know there are lots available as cultures, but I am not sure which would be the best that would accommodate all, or the majority of the fish, with the main focus being on the Red Neon's since their mouths are so tiny and if they do have fry then even smaller of course.
I do not want to mess around with hatching the brime shrimp, but not sure if the freeze dried food is good. I did buy some powdered krill, mysis shrimp and golden pearls in a 3 pack and the fish seem to like it - but I am not sure if they are able to eat it all with it being powder.
I have been reading about the micro-worms - but would really prefer to stay away from the culturing side of things, unless I have to.
Any advise on what would work - how to know if the powdered food it actually being eaten or any general advise for my tank and what is best for them.
I do have a variety of wafers and I do feed cucumber once or twice a week and do intend using other veggies too.
Thank you all in advance and happy holidays!
