foai Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I am getting some wildcaught cyathopharynx furcifer "Sibwesa" from Nigel next week. Is there something special that I should be feeding them or are the usual flakes and tetra bits etc OK? Cheers David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trofius Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Id give them regular feedings of adult brine shrimp, mine love it and gets them in the mood, they eat insect larvae in the wild, so maybe even mossy larvae, or small headless mealworms, tiny crickets etc.. and mine love eating algae off the glass and rocks.

BlakeyBoyR Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Id tend to agree with Trofius, Id try to slowly ween them onto pellet/flake food etc. rather than a straight transition. They may sit there thinking what this funny round stuff is you keep throwing at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi David, I think brine shrimp is the way to go for sure. At least to begin with. Slowly introduce them to flake and mine love tetra bits. Nigel will be the best person to ask as you should keep feeding them what he does. Best of luck with them. Be sure to send me lots and lots of pics. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foai Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 Thanks for the replies. I am pretty excited about the new arrivals. I have purchased a new rack, bought a couple of eheims, got crushed marble and had tanks made etc so I can't wait. I am a bit of a technological bonehead but will do my best to get some good photos and put them up on here. The only thing that has me worried is making sure my water chemistry is alright. I never seem to have had much luck looking after tanganyikans in the past. It is a bit embarrasssing because I did an honours degree in chemistry at uni so there really are no excuses.
