You don't believe, tetra bits is a food source only for seed shrimps. I am also offering them Dennerle shrimp food. Dario-dario and bumble bee are in same tank and round the day they are in attacking position on seed shrimps.

Seed shrimp, you're talking about ostracoda right? Because, thats what I am talking about...

I am surprised coz you're feeding them, I dont even feed ones in my tank and they're mulitplying like crazy..

I am keeping these since a long but still they are not interested in tetra bits. They like to attack on seed shrimps and RCS.

BTW long back I had them along with so many other fishes in same tank. At first I fed them tubifex, they took it greedily. Later seeing other fish eat hikari micro pellets, they soon realized MPs are food source as well and they thrived on it..
@ Hamza which other fishes you were keeping apart from dario dario in the same tank?

Yes they are ostracoda. These shrimps, bumble bee and dario-dario all are in same tank with lots hiding places.

Did you try the foods you were already advised, shergill? I think they look like they will like microworms too, and microworms are the easiest live food ever.

They might be trying to blend in with the substrate!

Try feeding like Vishaal feeds his Badis, although I would suggest a pipette instead of forceps.

Romi/Sushant i have started the culture, been 2 weeks now, took from Deepesh. On Monday i saw few small clumps of romifex and next day they disappeared. but could see few swimming freely.

How much time does it takes for culture to set up. Right now i am feeding them on mosquitoe larvae.

Think i need to get microworm culture too from Deepesh.
