Carpet nem: gets either silversides, raw shrimp, or mysis
RBTA: sometimes gets pieces of raw shrimp or mysis, it doesn't enjoy eating as much as my carpet nem
tube nem: mysis and pieces of chopped raw shrimp
rock nem: mysis or pieces of chopped raw shrimp
Can't seem to get my rbta to eat much of anything. Just doesn't get hungry but it has great color and the tissue seems very healthy, doesn't bubble up though. My carpet nem on the other hand... I could empty a whole bag of shrimp into it if I wanted. That thing eats and eats and eats. The rock nem is pretty selective about when it wants to eat. I think it probably gets a lot of fauna from the sand as well as pellets etc. dropping from heaven. My tube nem eats like you'd think a ballerina would, so graceful and gently. It picks a mysis out of the water and slowly puts it in its mouth.
Do I need to feed them? I dunno. Do I like feeding them? Yep! And they seem to like it too.
