My Wizard Is Gone - Rip!

[Netty]

That's me

. I think it gets to that time of night.....or early morning as it is here and the lack of sleep starts to affect me

If you don't do live then I would give the golden pearls once a week like you would if you were feeding bloodworm

I've never heard of golden pearls before....have you got any pics lol ?

VERY funny - yeah, I know it's late there!!!

Anyhoo, here is a link to what I am talking about:

They sound really good. I've never seen them over here.....I imagine they would be great for conditioning with the higher protein content. Am I right in thinking that you can get them in different sizes?

 

[LionMom]

Yes, you can get them in different sizes.

So, you think still giving them these once a week along with the Betta Pro is a good idea? Since I don't do live?

Right now, this is what I have in mind:

Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday - Betta Pro ( 4 pellets in AM & 2 pellets PM)
Tues. New Life Spectrum in the am & 2 Betta Pro Pellets in the pm
Saturday - Golden Pearls in the am & 2 Betta Pro Pellets in the pm.
Sunday - Fast

What do ya think?

Guess I'm just a little nervous since I gave Wizard the Golden Pearls on Tuesday (he LOVED those things!) and Wednesday he got sick. Of course, nobody else got sick so I'm probably just being paranoid, huh?

I just found a UK supplier who can do a 43g tub for £5 which sounds reasonable Might try some, my marine corals will like it too

That sounds fine. Just keep an eye on their bellys and if they start to look bloated at all then cut down the betta pro pellets by a couple a day and see if that helps. If your other fish are fine then it's probably not related to the food and was just one of those things that can happen sometimes.

We just managed to fine a uk supplier of the golden pearls so will order some and give it a try. Will be interesting to see how the fry get on with the smaller size......so thanks for mentioning them

 

[LionMom]

You're more than welcome! I'll be interested in reading how you like them once you have been using them for a time.

Too many Pro pellets, you think? Only do 3 in the morning?

Sheesh - I'm thinking I have been overfeeding all along!!!

 

[Netty]

Depends very much on the fish. We have some that look fat with just 4 pellets a day and others that will eat more and still look like they've not been fed lol You just need to adjust to each fish's metabolism.

I like the fact with the golden pearls that they float in the water column which will be good for the fry rather than sinking straight to the bottom. Just have to decide which size to get now!!! I'm always keen on trying new things especially if it improves the growth of the babies.
