Hi I have a Little Zebra who only seems to take bloodworm and nothing else is this normal and can he survive on bloodworm alone? His black stripes are not as black as i would have liked anything else i can feed him to enhance the color??? cheers

Got any pics?? i keep Zebs hoping to spawn them soon, mine love - king british catfish pellets, bloodworm (one or twice a week) and tetra prima, try this vary the diet for them and im sure they will look better especially though eating the prima

I think you should vary the diet, as just bloodworms will probably cause problems sooner or later. For fry...I use cyclops/bbs/and vitamin enriched trout chow. For older zebras (1"+) try black worms/mysis shrimp/brine/ and pellets. They will nibble on veggies, but are mostly meat eaters!

I'm guessing "southcoast_lad" is aka as Shell anyway!

I have long suspected this.

Tom,
It is his first post, and he joined June 30th. How long have you suspected this? How about answering his question

"Fishnut2",

You clearly do not understand my post so Please do not ask me to reply. If I am correct their questions have already been answered elsewhere.
