Keep The Food On The Bottom, But Out Of The Gravel

[comocrayfish5]

so as some of you know, i have a lot of little baby crayfish roaming around the tank with Momma Cray. i have abandoned the whole "feed them crushed fish flakes" idea due to the waste and water pollution, not to mention they can never find them! so i have put in some frozen 'silversides' (fish) from petsmart (and some frozen blood worms) and they love it. but the pieces of fish were going everywhere and the baby crays are to small so gravel vacuuming is impossible soooo.... i came up with an ingenious yet common sense idea!!!! i went to the craft store and got one of those terra- cotta bases for the flower pots to drain into, put it on the bottom and put a fish head in it! Momma Cray took he biggest piece (running away like she killed it herself ) and left the small ones for the babies. now the little pieces wont dirty the gravel!

just wanted to share it with everyone with bottom feeders!
