I'm currently giving them freeze dried bloodworms and they love them. When I try freeze dried tubifex they totally ignore it. When I try freeze dried brine shrimp some take it, some don't. Then others take it, then spit it back out. Should I just do flakes + bloodworms, or what?

I want them to grow fast!


Feeding 2 to 3 times a day. Water changes of 50% now, instead of 75%, once a week with gravel vacs. Tank is 120g, 5ft long.

Any advice is welcomed, I just dont want them to ONLY eat bloodworms, as I'd like them to have a well balanced diet.

What about hatching brine shrimp? Newly hatched brine shrimp is a great food for fry.

I feed mine mainly flake - I mix several of Ken's flake in a gallon bucket and feed them twice a day. On the freeze dried - are you letting it sit in water before feeding to the angels? If they are eating it dry off the surface it can cause bloat (it hydrates in their stomachs). I also feed mine frozen blood worms and brine shrimp from Hikari.

Hope that helps,
