thanks nelly ,how long do you leave them in the tank and how often do you feed them peas

 

[england]

i usually do it twice a week,
well mine get eaten quick, got a male n female pair of bristles + around 70-80 fry and a candystripe plec in the tank, so its a feeding frenzy......

just do one pea and split it, i usually crush it into small peices so easier to spead around,,,,
if its still in the tank the next day just remove it

Your BN will grow like the clappers! I got my first one about 6 weeks ago and she was so tiny - now shes 4 times the size and a beautiful fish! Make sure you give yours a good diet and dont leave them to feed on just scraps and algae. I feed mine plec wafers, peas, courgettes, peppers, cucumber, sweet potatoes, flake food, frozen blood worms & daphnia and she also likes the crab pellets I put in for the shrimps! (who also adore peas!) So far she has turned her nose up on spinach and lettuce!

Mine love zucchini. I just boil or steam slices for a couple of minutes to make them sink.
