Feeding Wild Caught Angels?

[__CAV__]

Hi everybody....

i just recently brought a trio (there's an extra male) of W/C peruvian Altums
(yeh i know they arent true altums, but d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f.)

i was just wondering what everyone feeds there angels,
as i have been finding it hard to get them eating prepared foods(flakes, pellets, etc)
ATM they only type of prepared foods they will eat is $20 for a tiny pkt.
they have no worries eating brine shrimp(live or frozen) and have been scoffing them down like little pigs.
i just want some alternative foods to offer them so if anyone can suggest some it would be greatly appriciated..

Frozen bloodworm & live white worm is great for them, white worm puts bulk on fast helps bring them to breeding condition

sorry if i sound stupid but what is white worm?
are they like meal worms?
my mate suggested trying them as thats what he gives his aus natives.
i've been givng them bloodworms as well as the brine shrimp.
but anyway thanks for the help.

You could also try Mysis shrimp, daphnia, tubifex, or even a chopped-up earthworm. :yes:

White worm are a type of live micro worm which can be easily cultured at home I am unsure if you have them available in Aus

Newly hatched baby brine shrimp are good too
