Well heres my basic feedings for my apistos. I feed live bbs everyday to everything, adults down to fry. I alternate feedings of frozen bloodworms, frozen beefheart, tetra bits ( ooops color bits now) flake food and spirulina chips once in awhile. With this varied diet i keep everyone nice and plump healthy and happy. With the nice weather things are spawning pretty regular and i think the varied good diet helps. I also supplement Daphnia and white worms when i have enough to feed them with these guys. I have given up on black worms as i havent been able to get good quality worms in a while now.
