Black Neon Tetras

[mark4785]

I currently have 5 Black Neon Tetra in my aquarium and I was wondering what kinds of foods they most enjoy. With them being very small fish I some times find that even when I've crushed flakes down to a small size they don't eat it due to it still being too large for them to consume.

Another behaviour that I've observed is that one particular Tetra will eat around 2-4 blood worms each day while the other four Tetras will only eat one and mainly stick to eating flakes. Should the four tetras be eating 2-4 blood worms per day or is there just something wrong with the one with the large appetite for 2-4 blood worms per day?!

Typically, what and how much should they be eating in a 24 hour period?

Thanks,
Mark.

Hi, I have 13 black neon tetras and have had no feeding troubles. I feed mine around 1 pinch a day and i dont usually crush the flakes, but they still seem to eat it all just fine.
Also I dont often feed bloodworms, maybe around 1ce a week as a treat, but that also has alot to do with the fact that i have frozen cubes.
Anyway hope you find a solution to your problem.
