clown treat question
Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 4:43 am
hi all,
first, let me thank you for past help as I am new to clown loaches and so very glad reading your older posts to find the '' clicking" noise is actually the clowns and NOT my glass breaking! I had been reading about many of your loaches clicking when excited or fav food and finally my two clowns just started a few days ago-glad to know they are happy. My question is can I feed them the canned mini shrimp (used for salads) ,can I toss a few in the tank as a treat once in a while or will the shrimp mess up my tank water? Other tankmates are common plec, and platys.
Usual food for community tank is flakes, Hikari veggie tabs, shrimp pellets, dry shrimp( look like skeletins-wonder if nutritous,but they love 'um), fresh veggies (zucchini, brocalli, and pumpkin so far). Sorry for long question, but want to get it right for the clowns , named Hocus and Pocus cuz they dissappear before my camera clicks and show up on opposite side of tank -like magic!
