fish food for a Baggai Cardinal

jpocock · 03/06/2013, 11:56 AM

I just bought a Banggai Cardinal. when I feed my other fish he dose not seem to be eating. Is there a certon food I need to buy for him or is what I am using ok? I am using New Life Spectrum Marine Fish Pellets.

Thanks

Mine is shy around the other fish but when he gets his chance he eats flakes and frozen shrimp.

Mine wont touch pellets but eats a frozen mix of a few different things very aggressively.

I have two and they eat everything. Rods food, seaweed, flakes and clams!

they are shy eaters. put food in and walk away and observe from a distance. u will see it run gulp and hurry back to its hiding corner.

The two in my tank will only eat frozen, although one will sometimes nip at flakes.

mine will eat just about everything but pellets. Frozen, mysis, brine, nori, etc

Mine loves blodworms - probably because she also loves live blackworms and cant tell the difference between the two.
