I am asking because I have a microworm culture, walter worm culture and may get my hands on a banana worm culture soon.
Is there realistically difference for the fish in nutrients or is it like saying chicken from a different breed?
I am asking because of my indostomus paradoxus. I feed them twice a week hatched bbs, but the rest of the week just the worms. I do have seed shrimp in the tank, but they are at the surface and quite fast, and from past experience, indostomus will not go for fast food. I tried super tiny mosquito larvae I sifted throguh bbs sieves and they didnt touch it. I ofcourse have a lot of leaf litter, so one would assume infusoria, and I lately will squirt SMALL amount of my paramecium culture to the tank.
I just wonder if my diet is too one sided for the fish. I saw several breeding behavior but no fry, and other people who have kept them in a species only tank had fry fairly quickly. I wonder if it is the food or the shrimp colony. I highly doubt indostomus eat freshly hatched shrimp, because the colony is growing too quick for that.
