My adult A. baenschi only ever eat freshly hatched baby brine shrimp and am looking for alternative live food they might eat, though i will use the live food on my other fish, plecs, corys, etc.
I am thinking of trying live daphnia as i have read that it is good live food for fish.
On my search for a starter culture, i found an "INSTANT DAPHNIA CULTURE KIT" from Blades Biological, which is "dried eggs, growing tub, buffer, food and instructions".; http://www.blades-bio.co.uk/pond_life.htm
Has anybody cultured live daphnia and fed it to their fish, just trying to find out the pros and cons before getting some ?
I have used "Blades" blackworms before; http://www.blades-bio.co.uk/annelids.htm, but think they are a bit big for apistos.
On the "Living Annelids" page, they also stock white worms (same page as the blackworms), are white worms easy to culture and a small enough size for apistos ?
Is any of the other worms on the Living Annelids page any good for feeding fish with ?
