Scarlet Badis (Dorio Dorio)

[Sidney]

Hello guys,
i just bought this fish from C328, any bros here are expert in all these fishes
like their living conditions, what fish food to feed?

[Urban Aquaria]

They are mainly carnivores and do well with meaty foods, live foods are great for them and usually you'll see them effectively hunting copepods and small critters in the tank.

Not so ideal in shrimp tanks though, due to their small size they can easily access the hiding places and eat up all the tasty shrimplets. I added a pair to my shrimp tank before and all the shrimplets disappeared overnight.

I have 10 of them in my tank,very territorial and aggressive towards other males.
I fed them small pellets food,i love those fishes.

I shifted them to a community tank for a while, then eventually gave them away to a friend when i re-scaped it... figured i prefer the shrimp population in all my tanks to grow or at least be self-sustaining, not slowly decrease over time.
