Hey everyone,

I just installed a new 60L tank and after setting it all up and cycling etc I have put in two fantails. They seem to be getting on fine with eating pellets but what else can I feed them for variety?

Thanks
Matt

Really? I did a load of research and fantails appeared to only get to about 9 cm so I thought I get put in 2 or 3?

Fantails typically grow to 15cm if well cared for with some exceeding 25cm. This is not including the tail!

You need a bigger tank although yours is a nice size for a quarantine tank for juveniles.

Thanks a lot
Should be getting a bigger tank soon.
What can I feed fantails other then pellets and flakes? Seems a bit harsh on them with only that haha.

So bloodworms, veg etc?

flakes floating pellets and lettuce I know they eat, but expirment you might find your fish love something and hate others

Goldies love oranges. All of mine do. You can feed, krill, blood worms, flakes, pellets as a staple, crickets- dried crickets, algae strips, shrimp balls. Any kind of tasty fish treat. I shop at Big Al
