My golden wonder killi's will try to eat ANYTHING that drops into the water. They get regular flake food, supplemented with freeze dried baby shrimp or freeze dried plankton (both of which they enthusiastically eat). The older killis have ate shrimp pellets and also variety pellets. These fish will just eat and eat and eat ... if you let them. You are so right about them trying to get the food before it even hits the water. They look up at me, just ready and waiting. If I pinch the food and hold it in the water, they will gladly eat from my fingers. They are really great fish. I cannot say enough good things about them. I started out with 3 last year, lost 2 (1 to unknown reasons and 1 jumped), got 3 babies recently to keep the lonely adult company. The adult one actually seemed to "protect" the babies and enjoys their company. |
