Feeding

[cornishlass]

Ok so after some lovely help from the forum, I have decided what I will eventually put in my tank

1 male Betta
6 Male guppies
6 Dwarf Cory
4 Cherry shrimp (wasn’t sure on amount)?
3 assassin snails

What things should I feed them to ensure they all get what they need?

a variety diet of good quality flake food, frozen live foods and algea wafers will cover all needs. The assin snails will eat your other snails and when they run out will eat whatever you drop in!

Thanks, what would you feed daily? A mix or alternate it?

 

[Gilli]

Mainly flake food then frozen live foods and algea wafers a few times a week. Now and again you can feed a crushed blanced pea (no skins) for a treat and to keep them 'regular' Make sure you flake it as they are greedy and will get bits lodged in their mouths! Mine are also partial to dried earthworm tablets which i buy on Ebay. Only feed once a day.

sorry to tell u but you will have to keep a very close eye on the male betta.... because there is a very good chance that he may attack the male guppies

Yes I understand there is a risk, but the above list was recommended to me by members of this forum
