    Hi! Does anyone feed flakes to their Orange Australes? I tried feeding my micro pallets with no success. Even Freeze Dried Tubifex Worms doesn't work as well. Any suggestions?
    Cheers!

    If your australe have tankmates that eat flakes readily, crush some to bite size. I recall that non-annuals can be trained to rush for mini pellets when they're hungry enough. Do a search for Tim Addis's pellets... it's really good stuff!!

    I feed my australe flake at least once a day and they do eat it. I feed a mix of breeder flake and spirulina flake. they also take microgranulates.

    Hello,

    I'm sorry but I don't know the exact name of the flake. They are imported in bulk from Germany from a friend. I would guess any brine shrimp flake would work well, even just an ordinary high quality flake food or micro granulate. I know the micro granulate sold by Tim Addis works very well: http://www.ta-aquaculture.co.uk/ (click on "granular").

    Best of success with the australe.
