Can a Food Change your Tank ?  Part II


An Article by George J. Reclos

 Sand dwellers in action. Or how to make your F.rostratus show its natural behavior. Or how to make feeding time a real pleasure. All these could be titles for this article. And all this happened simply because the new food called for it. So the answer is "yes, a food CAN change your tank".

   

A Fossorochromis rostratus taking food from the bottom. You can see the fish spitting the sand (some of it from its gills) while keeping the pellets in its mouth.

Yes, I really loved this picture, too. An F.rostratus just spotted something which looks like a pellet and is about to go for it. If this is not a far more natural behavior then I don't know what is. The F.rostratus will spend a great deal of time patrolling over the sand area, digging and spitting sand.
