C. Trilineatus fry diet

Post by cinnamonsticks »

Greetings!

Please help! I have c. trilineatus fry that "hover" in mid to top level of tank. They also float at surface and grow at uneven rates. The water parameters are good. Not all c. trilineatus fry exhibit this behavior. The C. Paletaus fry in the same tank are doing very well. It's as if these fry need to burp. I believe it may be the diet. The younger fry eat repashy spawn & grow, BBS, and micropellets. The bigger fry get that plus a mix of other foods...whatever fits in their mouth. They had black worms today.

If you have nice growth and survival rates of c. trilineatus, please tell me what you feed them!

Thank you!
