    hi guys i have recently set my tank up and have been feeding a fire shrimp freeze dried bloodworm with a tweezer as there isnt anymore fish to feed.

    how many worms is reccomended to feed him.
    when i first bought him he was a bit timid with the tweezers but a few days down the line he is always racing to them. at the mo i feed him twice a day morning and afternoon but his dosage has gone up and i dont want to over feed him.

    thanks

    they probably dont need to be fed more then a little bit every 3 days. they will take all you give them, i have seen a peppermint get as fat as a corn dog nugget from hand feeding flakes.

    i would give the flakes too so they get more nutrition then just blood worms.
