tring to feed 2 small GSPs.

[mr. puffington]

i have 2 small GSPs in a 20 gal tank. there only about 1.5-2" right now. my question is whats the best way to equally feed them? one little guy is smart and goes right to the food while the other is usually late to the party. and im worried hes not getting enough while the other one is getting to much. this happens no matter what i feed them.

they will generally self regulate. just add enough for them to eat in 5 min and let it be. Try different foods, they may not like the same stuff. I had one GSP that loved raw shrimp and the other would only nibble but drop in a snail and there was a total role reversal.

When feeding larger food a pair of 6"+ forceps are good to feed each fish individually. When feeding frozen bloodworms a feeder cone works well as the fish can only bite and suck one bloodworm at a time.



A feeder cone is only about $2 bucks at the lfs and a pair of forceps are like $8 in the reptile section.
