Here's where I need some acvice- what do I feed them?

I feed Algae wafers, courgette and tetra prima.They seem to do well on it.

Of course - what a nut, I should have realised they will eat.what.i feed.their parents as well. Thanks for wake up advice.

I use soft veg rather than hard, eg cucumber or cooked green beans and courgette etc as they cant handle tough veg for a while. i also add flake food.

Same mate although I do sometimes blanche the courgette by putting it in water and blasting it in the microwave for a few mins then cooling in cold water, it makes it sink as well

I find cucumber the best (and algae wafers) as it blocks the filter a lot less than zuchini (lol can't spell it). If they won't eat the algae wafers at first stick them into the cucumber. I also find lebanese or continental cucumber the best as they have less seeds

Im going to start micro'ing the hard veg straight away - so many idea my babies are going to have a good variety to munch on. They are all out of the cave now and dad is taking a go od rest. Thanks every one

I personally wouldn't blanch or microwave courgette as it tends to turn to mush too easily. They manage it raw with a screwcumber to hold it down. It will soften after a few hours of being in the water.But if it works for you stick with it :thumbup:
