Living food for Paros – vacation strategies

#7128

Thank you Pavel!

I also thought of brine shrimps!
And concerning bought live food:
Till now I only tried brine shrimps, white mosquito larves (too big I think) and marine copepoda, and I buy them just the day they arrive in the shop (they store them in a big fridge and they get them in isolated styrofoam boxes once a week).

Just in case that my vacation service would not manage to renew brine shrimps …

My moina I have indoor … do you think they will improve being outside on balcony? We now have autumn weather, at day just 14 degrees Celsius about …

Tomorrow I will go again in my garden and bring live food for a week …. 🙂

I am just planning 🙂 for one or two live food needing tank its enough what I have (even my little buckets for mosquito larves on balcony) but for more tanks in future … 😉

Till now I have a 54l tank for my 4 linkei, one prepared 25l waiting for youngsters (a 10 l without water yet for babies),
one long (1m x 25 x 25) tank with 8 Spaerichtys selatanensis,

and a pensioners tank 100l for my rest of “normal” aquaristic fish (already about 8 years old or more): 8 Tannichtys micagamae, 10 Corydoras pygmaeus… they just get living food if I have enough plenty… and perhaps they just live as long as I will have more gurami youngsters to try a real black water group with some Paros, some Spaerichtys selatanensis and some boraras brigitae … but that ist future.

Till now I need living food for two tanks (Paros and Spaerichtys).
