What to feed my Bala Shark

[Stunter2b]

I just wanted to know what is the best thing to feed my Bala sharks.

I want to make sure my bala's get the best nutrition as I can possibly give them.


Thanks in advance..

They will eat almost anything but focus on vegetable matter more than meat although once in a while, protein rich foods will help especially for growth rate.

I'm new at this so can you elaborate on this with noob details.
I'm gonna go to my lps and get them some food.

Right now I'm giving them frozen brine shrimp and flakes..

Ours eat sinking shrimp pellets, flake, they love cucumber and courgette and once or twice a week they have bloodworms or tuberfix worms. They are growing great.

Give it a variety...Flakes/Pellets, Frozen Bloodworms, Frozen cut pieces of shrimp, etc.

I meant focus on high fiber diet as balas normally are herbivorous but proteins can be provided by feeding them occasionally bloodworms or try sinking pellets with crude protein of 38%.

how do you prepare the cucumber? does has to be cooked or anything?

flakes, small pellets, lots of stuff

No I just put it in weighted down, cut in half lengthways. They love it and make such a noise eating it!

You can blanch to soften it but I don't. I just weigh it down straight away with a rock and hope my snails can pounce on it and the BN plecos follow. Spoon or fork can work.
