Hi

Seems ok to make a change in diet.

I would feed them the cyclops and the Sera tablets. You can crush and pre-soak the tablets if you like.

Btw, there is a lot of difference in size between different sizes of cyclops, the Megacyclops is to large for your youngsters, but ordinary Cyclops sp. (adult bodylength from o,8-2,0 mm) will be fine for a 2 cm cory, maybe they will avoid the biggest specimens, but some waste is ok when we are dealing with fry, i think.

Also you can try chubbing up some bloodworm with a sharp knife or raserblade. It's messy, but can work.

For safety, continue feeding your Microworms as a "side dish" for a while.

Good luck from

Okay!

I've just feed some cycklops and microworms.
Do you use the Sera tablets?


Thank you very much for the reply!

No, newer used the specifik tablet mentioned, so in a bit guessing there. But i do know that it's ment as food for cats and loaches, so i guess the JBL and Avi-tabs (some local big retailers parrellel import of an to me unknown brand :? ) i use are quite similar.

So, are they accepting the Cyclops?
