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.hamza wrote:Do they really eat seed shrimps?

@ Hamza which other fishes you were keeping apart from dario dario in the same tank?hamza wrote:Do they really eat seed shrimps?

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..

Re: Bumble bee goby food
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.

Re: Bumble bee goby food
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.

Re: Bumble bee goby food
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.Romi wrote:Did you try the foods you were already advised, shergill?

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.
