Michael, Where did you get them from? I would cut out the bloodworm and beefheart.
Cheers,
David.

Mysis and krill are good too... forgot earthworms (compost worms are a good size).

[the german]

i got them from a guy over here,hes called the wiz,has his own forum,plecomadness.com,he says they are traceable to the import.
they come from the eastern states.

beefheart and BW i only feed minimal amounts,you think i shouldnt feed it at all?

cheers

The earthworms are great food especially for conditioning breeders. I wouldn't feed any bloodworm or beefheart at all it's just not worth the hassle but the mysis and krill are great too. They are my juves which went to Wiz via Sydney.
Cheers,
David.

[Chilli Powder]

They look like the araguaia. Can you confirm?

Cheers

[ozarowana]

I believe they have been found to be araguaia.

[the german]

mine look ectl. the same then bens fry so i dont have tapajos?
i mean i like them so or so but would like to know what it is

[ozarowana]

From what I remember you got them from a good source so they are probably tapajos. The two variants are almost identical. Check if they get the black horizontal band that appears under certain conditions.
