Hi All,
I'm contemplating keeping killi's again. In the past I've raised them from eggs as I've been around to feed them regularly and do water changes etc. I'd like to raise them from eggs again and while I'll be able to feed them most days and I plan to keep them in my main tank in a floating container with small holes to allow waterflow, so water changes aren't a concern. There will be days (2 maybe 3) that I won't be around to feed. Can you suggest any foods that will sustain them while I'm away? Foods would need to be suitable for week old fry and up. I've looked at repashy gel foods as a potential option and I used banana worms in the past but I can't remember how long they last underwater. Daphnia are another option I've considered but I don't think I'll be able to culture a sufficient number this time of year.
