F8 food

[sunburst]

hi guys , what do u feed ur F8s
when u feed prawn cockle or muscle , are they raw or cooked?

Always feed them raw foods. Fish don't use the kitchen

Check out the puffer food articles in the library. There are tons of options.

I've been feeding my baby F8 a combination of:

freeze dried bloodworms
freeze dried krill
freeze dried ocean plankinton
snails
frozen mysis shrimp

Each day I'll change what I give him to keep the variety in his diet.

All of his food except the snails are soaked in water to either rehydrate or defrost.

I feed frozen mysis shrimp, frozen bloodworms, frozen uncooked w/shell on shrimp from the market, frozen brine shrimp. I also try sun-dried baby shrimp occasionally though my F8s aren't crazy about it.

I also feed live pond snails. I will be adding ghost shrimp soon (as soon as quarantine is over). I try to not feed the same thing two days in a row.

my baby/ young f8s are on frozen mysis shrimp and frozen bloodworms , they love it the greedy little porkers
how often do you feed young puffers?

[PufferGrrl]

I usually feed bloodworms in the morning, and either krill or plankinton at night. I mix it up with mysis shrimp also. I've read that freeze dried brine shrimp isn't that beneficial to them, not a lot of "good for them" stuff in it. Anyone else come across that? I have brine shrimp, but they're not crazy about it either.
