I have a 2-3 inch baby rainbow snake head im feeding him on frozen bloodworm and hes to small to eat a whole cube and theres loads of waste,would cutting up sprats in to an edible size work better as i can control portians and also ive heard they will make them grow faster,
Thanks guys.
Do not feed beef heart. You are correct about them not being able to digest it properly. It's a terrible food source, It might yield fast growth but also results in failing health and short life span .
Meal worms, or other insect diet is ideal for channa and yields a good growth rate. A quality pellet food is also good , personally I like to use both with insects as the main staple.
The more varriety the better. Watch carefully not to over feed especially during the winter months. The subtropical Channa are prone to obesity and they'll gladly eat themselves to death if allowed too !

I feed live meal worms, although I'm sure they'll take them dead if you preferred .
I'd think live would be more nutritious then those dried up things in a can though.
You can also "gut load" live meal worms for an even more nutritious meal by sticking them with some fresh veggies for a bit and letting them chow down before feeding them to the channa.

I've had some great success feeding krill as well. India has a massive distribution of cardinia species within in region, so it is a primary food source for many animals and especially fish.
