Hi all. Long time lurker, first time poster.
I'm setting up a 20 gallon long heavily planted tank and I'm currently looking for inhabitants. After a long search and lots of thought, I've decided on trying to keep Dario Dario. Link to supplier I'm considering.
From my reading, I know that they prefer live foods. Even preferring them to the point of not taking any prepared food. That's fine, I'm willing to deal with that. Unfortunately, I have almost no previous experience with feeding/raising live foods.
So what food would be good for these fish? I was thinking microworms, but I was afraid that the microworms may be too small.
Anyway, that's my question. Also, I'm only thinking about having 6 of them in the tank (possibly with some red cherry shrimp), is that too large or too small of a group?
Thanks,
IndianaSam
