Barracuda Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hi I have a group of angel and kribensis fry growing up together, they are about 3-4 weeks old now. I have been feeding them newly hatched BBS - however due to the time it takes to hatch, I am unable to feed everyday. In the few days that I am unable to give them BBS, i feed them crushed up flakes/granules. I notice that the angels do not attempt at eating the flakes/granules - they ignore it and will only eat BBS. the kribs too do not go crazy on them, however they will eat it when they get hungry. This has resulted in a size differential between the 2 types - the kribs being bigger than the angels, even though they were born after (since they eat more). The problem now is that some of the angels havent eaten in a while, and are dying off. The kribs on the other hand are strong and healthy. Will the angels eventually start eating the flakes/granules? Is it normal for them to avoid these foods when there are live ones available (sometimes?) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prosavage Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 You can feed them frozen BBS, which is almost as good as the live hatched ones They may not eat it straight away but will nip off bit by bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
