silversides? what to do with them?

umm huh..

i know what my fish eat....trust me i do my research...just never fed silversides, just want to add a lil diversity to there diet on rare occasion im not gonna feed it alot. just checking what others use them for and how. and yeah i paid like 4 $ for them dont think that is anything close to beach front property.

 

I fed silversides to my lion, puffer and ray before they died. Now I feed selcon soaked silvers to my anemone. Sometimes my maroon will steal a chunk for himself. I usually float the a piece near the tentacles until it grabs it, it will take it into its mouth from there. I rinse the frozen water off the chunk I break then soak it in RO water with the selcon. I'll give 1/2 to a whole silverside to my anemone, once or twice a week, depending on how much my maroon feeds it.

 

I think 'you' missed the humor, but that's aight.
Your post looked like "I just got some food but don't know what for..." hence the joke of ocean front property.

 

sry..

thanks mike .. seems like maybe its more of a larger fish food... i got it mostly cause i seen a video of a mandarin tearing down on one. so anything you can get a mandarin to ingest is worth a try. prob just cut small chunks every once and a while and see if the fish like it if not its 4$. maybe ill give my torch a really small piece.

 

If your fish dont eat it (which I highly doubt it) use it as bait for fishing (very good bait for fishing).

 

expensive bait.... lol it is a possibility i live 10 min from lake erie and the site that held the bass masters for the last 2 yrs. lol they do look like the same minnows i use just not living. i should just go dip a net in the lake.! no bad idea.

 

I have never seen a mandarin eat more than tiny pods in a tank. I almost bought one but before I left for my LFS, I realized my damsels pretty much wiped out the pod population in the tank, so the mandarin stayed at the store.
