zizmans Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Just got a black perula. Picked up a bag of Mysis. He doesn't seem attracted to them. They are kind of big. He's about 2-2 1/2 inches. Pics in Members nanos. He's biting and spitting out other floatsomjetsom things in the tank. Should I be more patient? What to do? Link to comment
onthefly Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Hey Ziz's Maybe try some flake or brine to begin with. Mine is a small firecracker but will eat just about anything. Link to comment
Goliath Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 my false perc like flake foods over the brine I feed it Link to comment
gullmo Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 I had trouble with my percs at first too. They would just take the food in and spit it out for like a week. I just very lightly fed them, like once every two days and finally they broke down and started eating. Now I can scrape table scraps in my tank and they would eat them. Link to comment
zizmans Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 Well after over-feeding, I have an algea bloom. No big deal, 25% water change, took 2 hours off my lights, I'll do phyto if I have to in a few days. I started chopping the mysis up and he eats it, I was also feeding brine and #2 so I knew he wouldn't starve. Link to comment
