Just a quick update on my Yellow Labs, all have survived. The beggining was stressful correcting my water and what not. Well here they are...

Yep there sweet. What did you recommend I feed them as a treat? Bloodworm or Shrimp?

Brine shrimps. I actually only fed them that for the first few months, they got HUGE and BRIGHT!

AH that's what it was well I bought some freeze dried blood worms, do you think they will eat them?

They will for sure, if they will have the same effect or not idk.

I figured they would eat it. I'm still going to pick up some Brine tomorrow. Do they sink or float?

You get them, and they look dead. You add water and they come to life :) They come all dry, pretty much preserved.

Srsly, kids pay like 20$ for a dozen of them called "sea monkeys" All those are is brine shrimp. They are EASY to breed, and are fantastic food for fish.

Neither had I till I looked it up, doubted you were talking SP for some reason.
Sea People (TV 1999) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0166795/)
Isn't rated very well.

I feed all my Cichlids when I had them blood worm as main diet and you do not have to feed them every day or multiple times a day blood worm have always been #1 food not a treat. Treats are things u find like worms, crawdads, shrip, other fish just what ever, if its alive that is the biggest treat if u ask me. O frogs are great treats too
