I have a small school of 9 green neons (wild) and 8 black neons, they all seem to school together except one green who seems to enjoy company with all things my ANGELFISH ....they be best of friends, go figure eh (thinking angel sees snack someday).....anyways my question is my green neons seem to be little interested in flake food as the others are...blood worms are too big for them lil mouths and slow sinking granule food seems to not tempt their taste buds. I have tried frozen daphnia now and then (twice a week), but hate to use it alot as it seems alot of wasted food before it hits bottom of tank...do these guys need something else I am not providing, had em three weeks and hate to see em starve but they seem to lack the feeding interest of their bigger relatives the blacks?
Currently feeding frozen bloodworms (twice a week)
Frozen Daphnia (twice a week)
OSI Spirulina flake mixed with OSI vivid color flake (daily - when no blood worm or daphnia)
Hikari sinking wafer (one daily)
Algae wafer (one every other day)
A Generic slow sinking granule (now and then...Angel loves)
Freeze dried brine shrimp (Once or twice a week)
I have yet too see them really eat anything, other then nibbles here and there. Am I worried about nothing or is there something that these little guys go nuts over I need to get? They are in a community tank so the other food gets eaten fast by various fish. All the food that stays on the surface (brine shrimp) never gets down to where they feed at.
Tank is a 90g planted with 4 corys....5 ottos...3 bulldog plecos...1 angel fish...8 black neons....9 green neons...5 gold clown barbs.
