Good F8 Diet

Post by SkeptikaL »

Ok, so right now, I'm feeding my F8's frozen brine shrimp, shrimp people eat, and am breeding pond snails, but the bastards won't lay any eggs and its been like 5 days... But anyways, yes, any other good suggestions for food? Is that going to be a diverse enough diet for them to be fully health or should I go out and get some more variety?

On the Home page is a great article on pufferfoods. I suggest reading all the articles in the Library too.

When i set my 5 gal FW tank I stocked it some small swords, and at the time of purchasing the swords there were about 2 or 3 snails that where visible. About 6 weeks later i counted about 21 snails that i could see. Give it time trust me they will reproduce. I'm not an expert In live plants or snails nor do i do anything extra special but I try to keep things maintained as best as possible.

Yea, about the snail eggs, lmao, yesterday, I spotted 3 clusters... lol, I have a feeling theyre gonna give me a hard time for not being faithful in them, lol. And also, I bought some bloodworms, just to add some more variety in their diet. :)
