johnsmith Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) A couple of questions about these guys: 1. I really don't think any food hits the bottom of my tank and there isn't a lot of algae, will they eat dying plant leaves and that stuff that lives on driftwood (assuming tiny edible things live on driftwood) and any food residue that the fish spit out? 2. If they're in a tank with a betta will an algae wafer once in a while suffice? (different tank than the one mentioned above) 3. Do they need any type of supplement to make their shells strong and healthy? Edited November 5, 2006 by johnsmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 They will eat some detritus, and will consume decaying plant matter as well as algae....and certainly, algae tablets will help supplement them. Keep their water changed regularly (and keep it at a good hardness and pH) and add some liquid calcium and/or some cuttlebone to the tank to help supplement their calcium.
