Re: Frozen Brine Shrimp vs. Frozen Blood Worms

["Chris & Paula" <plowell@iquest.net>]

I have the same problem with a ram, L. Curviceps, and Keyholes.

They love frozen blood worms much better than the brine shrimp.  They spit
more of the brine shrimp out.  In order to get rid of this pack of brine
shrimp I only feed them once a day when I feed them the shrimp or wait and
skip a day and then feed them the shrimp.  If they are hungry they will tend
to eat it better :)  I doubt I'll buy frozen brines again though, atleast
not for dwarf cichlids.

Ofcourse if you are specifically conditioning for breeding maybe you'll just
have to skip the frozen brines if they dont readilly eat it.
