How Much Food Should I Be Feeding My Mountain Cloud Minnows?

[serbusfish]

I have 5 White Mountain Cloud Minnows and im worried im not feeding them enough. I have been giving them flake good crunched up so its really tiny pieces as I wasnt sure if they could fit bigger pieces in their mouths. Should I be feeding them once or twice a day?

I have always fed mine just once a day and that's been plenty. However, I do recommend you vary their diet. They are omnivorous and like to get some small blood worms, daphnia, as well as plant based foods, sort of a mixed bag for best health.

I have freeze dried bloodworm, would they be ok? Also will they eat pellets?

 

[Chad]

They will eat the blood worms and if the pellets are small enough and slow sinking they will eat those as well though it does take a smallish pellet. Even if it's just once or twice a week they need something to spruce things up a bit in the diet. I find that feeding frozen daphnia or frozen blood worms really brings out their colors.
