This could pose a problem.They also have a VERY DEMANDING & specific feeding requirements. They will not eat flake or dried foods. Instead they need to be fed live or frozen foods such as snails, shrimp, worms, daphnia, clams, and oysters.
#2) Lotus is correct, betta's will eat shrimp, if not right away, then right after a molt, when they are nice, juicy and vulnerable for eating.
ADF depend on smell for their food mostly, their eyesight is not great. If fed too many sinking pellets that aren't eaten, you may have to remove them before they foul the water. OH the possibilities......  |
Um this is kinda misleading.
F8 puffers need brackish water. Id shoot for a trio of DPs instead of the F8s.
Its pretty much a 50/50 chance with bettas and Shrimp. In my exp. Bettas may be purdy but the pretty BORRING.
Shrimp pellets aren't a good choice of food for ADFS. They could still hard and they can cause bloating. Feed them Blood Worm.
