what are marbled crays' favorite food?

[rastoma]

I have some marbled crays that seem to have stopped eating. Water is perfect. I have pvc tubes for them to stake their own territory in.

But they seem to not want any of the food I give them anymore.

I can drop something in the tank and every one of them (there's 4) come out as if they are running, looking for the food. They will grab it and hold on to it for a few seconds then drop it and walk away. They used to grab it and carry it back to another part of the tank to eat it. They used to go crazy over algae wafers, shrimp pellets and ken's vegetable pellets with calcium.

Now, they drop it all and walk away.

I feed mine the same thing with an occasional serving of shrimp pellets. They will eat when they want to.

If there is uneaten food in your tank after 15 minutes have passed, remove it to keep the water cleaner.

I do.

sounds like they could be getting ready to shed or berry up...they stop eating a few days before each

I've only had 3 for a few months. But I feed them shrimp pellets, cichlid pellets, algea wafers sometimes, sometimes a bit of flake food, and cooked carrots. I've read they really like veggies, but this is the only kind I've offered yet.
