General Care Discussion :: Is My Food For Sliders Good?

[Rishabh]

I Have 2 1"Inch Hatchlings.... I Moved Them To A New Tank... They Keep Exploring And When I Feed Them Their Pellets They Eat It Sometime After I Move Far Away From The Tank...But They Shred It And Dirty The Tank....Does This Mean That They Don't Like It?

Pellets will sometimes make a mess.. do they still eat it?

Yeah...I Fed Them In A Separate Tub.... And I Feed One First Then Feed The Second. It Takes Some Time But I Know Whether They've Eaten Or Not.... They Eat Their Pellets By Cutting Them Into Tiny Pieces...Thats The Cause Of The Mess...I Feed Them By Cutting The Pellets Into Small Pieces Now.... ...Both Are Getting Used To Their Tank And They Keep Looking At Me When i Come Near The Tank....

bradmeisel :Thank You!!!!

You can consider the possibility of moving them to another tank/container for 15 minutes to feed them--then put them back in the main tank when they are done!
Keeps the tank cleaner, as sometimes they are messy eaters.
