My Rainbows Spit Food Out.

[australian rainbowfish]

my rainbowfish spit food out alot. they still eat more when they are hungry. food tips please. THANKS

all food or just dried?

have you tried them on a little live or frozen food?

if they are taking a small amount of dried food then that is fine, it is surprising how little they need each day to be perfectly healthy, be cautious not to over feed as this will cause all sorts of problems

little and often is best with rainbows they are quite fast swimmers so they should all get a fair share

Your Rainbows may just be adjusting to a new food. Also keep in mind that Rainbows may have large mouth but their throats tend to be narrow. So dont feed foods that are to large. Also when I first bought my rainbow it really did not want to eat. But with time adjusted and now eats normally. My Blue and Austrailian Rainbows love blood worms and Hikari Micro pellets.
