Fish Food

[sharky_oleary]

Hello,

So it turns out the beautiful killifish i just purchased is actually a peacock goby. After doing a bit of research it would seem the goby is a fussy eater and should really be feed on live food. So my question is thus; what is the easiest/most cost effective way of supply my goby with live food. Answers on a postcard.

Regards
Sharky

Buy frozen cubes of assorted live food, defrost and feed as and when.

Have to say I have never seen frozen live food before, does it spring back to life when thawed?

Fair point, it's not alive but it is still classed as live food rather than processed flake/pellet and OP did ask for the easiest/most cost effective way.

The only alternative is live brine shrimp, daphnia, etc. which would mean special trips to LFS a few times a week or growing your own....neither of which are the easiest/most cost effective way.

Thank-you for the advice. I will try some frozen food and hopefully he will take to it.

I know, only messing with you frozen food is indeed the best way unless you want to mess around with live.

Bear in mind a small cube explodes into masses of food....the wife dumped a whole cube of Cyclops in her 64 litre and it was like a snowstorm!

Try breaking a cube up and defrost small chunks until you get the amount right
