Frozen Bloodworms OMG, tank comes alive

Felix T Cat · 01/31/2009, 04:04 PM

So today I added my clean up crew. Couple Hermits and some snails. Well I asked the guy at the LFS about feeding the snails and hermits and he said they just feed them frozen fish. I asked him about bloodworms since I have some for my FW tank. He said that would be fine.

So, after adding everybody to the tank I dropped in a VERY small chunk of frozen worms.

Holly H***, they no sooner hit the sand when the 3 Nas snails came flying out of the sand and bristleworms from every rock around them. Next were the small almost clear starfish from under the rocks grabbing worms as fast as they can. I guess they were a little hungry.

Should I be feeding my live rock critters and clean up crew a little more ?

Do you have any fish? if so then what you feed them should be enough to feed the CUC IMHO. if you don't have any fish then you may want to feed to keep them alive.

no fish yet, got a few more months for them. Just CUC and live rock for now.
