Feeding nanofish

[Zante]

I'm looking at populating my nano with Tryssogobius Colini and/or Trimma rubromaculatus.

By the time the tank is ready to have them my rotifer culture will be back at full strength and I was wondering if I can use live rotifers (fed with live phyto) as a staple diet for these fish.

 

There won't be any other fish in the tank. Tankmates will be a couple of Calcinus elegans and a few snails.

Won't that be to small for them? I would think cyclop-eeze, tiny pellets, and ova would do the trick for them.

I don't know, I've never even seen these fish, that's why I was asking.

[Tamberav]

I would think too small or at the very least, not worth the trouble. I have a green banded goby and he will eat mysis bigger than his head.

 

The small foods listed above should work fine, you can always crush the pellets and flake.

[Zante]

excellent, thank you.

Rotifers are used to feed <10mm fry, I'd just crush up smaller pellets and flakes.
