what should i feed my MBU?

Post by lily8878 »

I am a beginner. Could someone help me?

I got one MBU 5 days ago. It only ate some mussel without shell at beginning, but now it doesn't like it.

It ate 2 small fishes on first day and second days, but now it is very peaceful with other 2 fishes.

What shall feed them?


Thanks a lot

[welcome]
I hope you did your research before you bought that giant!
Definitely check out those feeding ideas for suggestions.
So tell us what your plans are for him?
