Hello Tomoko I can answer that question too.... I always feed bbs to all my apistos each day, regardless of size, offspring present in the tank or not. My adults go nuts for bbs each day... i also supplement my bbs feeding with alternating feedings of frozen bloodworms, tetra bits ( oops color bits) flake food and live foods when available.
