Triops Series-Day 6
My Triops have grown so big that he is now evenly sized with his fellow tank-mate *fairy shrimp*. The previous day he was 1/2 the size of the fairy shrimp=HE DOUBLED IN SIZE IN A DAY. I believe one reason is because he was fed a high protein diet of freeze-dried daphnia(a crustacean). I think it’s also because of the higher temperatureof his tank (the hotter=they grow faster). I hope you enjoy and I will be making more Triops series vids soon!

Betta fish question?
I feed my betta twice a day. Freeze-dried bloodworms for breakfast. Thawed frozen foods Bloodworms or Brine Shrimp for dinner. I don’t feed him flakes because he has trouble eating them.
I know the betta pellets are the ideal food for them, since it gives them all the nutrients they need. In fact my sister’s betta died recently after living 7 and a half years – which above the average life expectancy! And all she was feeding him was betta pellets. But my betta simply can’t eat them because they are too hard for him to chew…he developed the habbit of not even touching the pellets.
Anyway, is the current diet enough nutrients for my betta? He seems healthy and active, but I want him to be super-healthy to break my sister’s record.
