Fluffy ate all dead today :)

I fed Fluffy and all I fed him was the shrimp and guppys "dead ones".
He didn't even hesitate this time, he just flew into them and they were gone. No live ones at all this time
He seems to know this is his food now.
Next few days I'll be trying different kinds of marine foods that are good for him.

Just wanted to thank you all that helped me

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~

Re: Fluffy ate all dead today :)

Great job. I know it was a little difficult at first but it seems the challenge was deffinately worth it. I don't think you'll have problems introducing new foods now, but like you said it's best you go slowly.

Re: Fluffy ate all dead today :)

He is eating guppys and freshwater ghost shrimp. Dead ones now.
He did eat a frozen krill yesterday. He ain't liking it much but he is getting there. It's taking him a while to switch over from fresh to salt but it's going along pretty good I think.
