Very nice. How do you manage to drop the food on top of the stone?

I dry stone with food. And then I put it into the tank. Food sticks good for stone surface.
I also feed Hypancistrus fry by this way

Hi Anna

1. What food are you feeding the L173 adults and L46 fry?
2. Is the food in paste form?

Thanks
