HELP WITH ADF FEEDING

[CaelumMeum]

I have an ADF, but lately it seems as though I can't feed him! I'm using the turkey baster method with frozen brine shrimp, but before he gets a chance to eat, my three platies gobble the shrimp down. I really don't want to move my froggy to another tank, so does anyone know another way to feed ADFs in a community tank?

Thanks!

Get some tubifex worms and stick them on the glass at gravel level and/or feed him by hand(that is with your hand in the tank holding the food infront of his nose). The also like frozen bloodworms and they are good because they sink.

i distract my fish with their favorite meal on one side of the tank while i drop sinking shrimp pellets or frozen bloodworms to my two ADF's.


great little frogs arent they.... what size tank r urs in

oh, nothing huge...just a 5 gallon. i'm a full time college student (i live at home) so i know it's a lot easier to keep a 5 gallon clean in lieu of a 30 or 40 or something. I made a vow to myself after school is over to continue this hobby because i love it too

Thanks for the feedback, I really do appreciate it

ADFs are great at eating livebearer fry. Just a funny addition to this post. I found one inside my breeder net and he was full. A bit extreme but they do like to eat.
