Saltwatergurl · 03/22/2011, 07:50 PM

Hey. I would like to know whats good food for a LTA?I tried krill but, the nem didnt eat it, it is a new LTA. Plus, can you tell me where to get the food? P.S. Can you tell me how you feed yours and what you feed yours? Thanks alot!

I think from memory yours is just days old to your tank, so I wouldn't stress on feeding yet.
Maybe give tank specs/params/time running.
Scallops are what I feed, and very rarely do I spot feed, light is really their main source for energy.
You could never spot feed a nem in a healthy tank and still have long term success.

yours is still acclimating, dont try to feed it until after a week. then feed it silversides and krill or muscle whatever you want and just place it in the tentacles

Yeah that's a pretty fresh tank to add a nem.
Hopefully it works out.

My nem looks good for now hopefully it will stay that way!!

Can you tell me how to upload pictures? So I can show you.

Thanks!

I use photobucket, just copy and paste image code, use go advanced instead of quick reply.
It's free, good place to store images, sizes for you.
