First meal for our friends

Fig: 4.1 Fish food

9pm: I introduced the first few flakes and sat patiently in front of the tank waiting for them to go fetch the food. But they didn't care. Minutes later, due to the flow of water, the flakes reached the bottom of the tank. They tried to nibble some, but as soon as the food touched the gravel, no one touched it! We had to go clean the food particles during our biweekly clean ups.
This continued for a week and I tried feeding them with the tank lights turned off. This time it worked wonders! They all came up to get some food and would make several trip up and down.
We were recommended to add blood worms too at times to treat the fish. They really enjoy freeze dried blood worms, a change from their usual diet - flakes!
