About a week ago I was in my LFS with my wife when she spotted three SAP's looking lonely in a tank and she was amazed by the way they followed her fingers around the glass.
Needless to say she demanded I rearrange my tanks to accomodate them! I now have three SAP's in what was my large community tank (180litres). I have been trying to feed them but so far they have just nibbled at the bloodworm fed to them. I have been feeding snails and they enjoy picking them off the glass but is there anything else to feed them as I am quickly running out of snails in my tank!!
I have DP's in another tank and they love bloodworm so I have never had to find out other foods.
Cheers for any help.

Should I finely cut foods such as crab and earthworms or is it better to put in a larger amount and just remove excess when they are full? Any benefits to either way?
its just they are quite small about 1" at the minute
Thanks again

I find with my SAPs that they aren't that clever at noticing when I put the food in, as they are so busy watching me through the glass. So I move my finger (without the food) about in the water to get their attention and then put a few bloodworms in, and then carry on repeating until they have nice fat little bellies!
