I have 3 tanks: 1 90 gallon with a giant red oscar, 4 silver dollars, and a pleco, a 55 gallon with 3 large Malawi cichlids and a catfish, and a 10 gallon with 5 baby Malawi cichlids.
I just introduced a new food to all of them to see if they would like it: Baby shrimp. It was fun watching them. The baby Malawis chomped on it and tore it to pieces right away, my oscar just ignored it (like that's going to do anything for me, dude?), the silver dollars kept putting it in their mouths, chewing it for a split second, and spitting it back up (that looks like blood worms, chomp.....that's not blood worms.......spit out.....(15 seconds later).....Wow! blood worms! CHOMP! Chew! BLAH! that's not blood worms)....the large Malawis were very skeptical at first but then seemed to enjoy them once they gave it a try.
Have any of you had similar results with your fish eating baby shrimp? What do you feed your fish for variety in their diet?
