Reptomin For Adfs

[madhorse7]

I was told to feed my ADFs Reptomin in additon to bloodworms to vary their diet but the Reptomin sticks float at the top. Will the froggies find it there or should I find something to somehow weight the food down with? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

In my limited experience, while my ADF will eat reptomin, he'll only eat it if it sinks to the bottom. He never goes anywhere near the top except very quickly to get air. If he wasn't in the community tank, maybe he'd have a chance to eat it. but usually the zebra danios pick it apart on the water surface.

If you smash it up with your fingernail enough you'll be able to get small bits without air bubbles that will sink. However, I'd just get a dedicated sinking pellet for frogs/tadpoles.
