tetras

[aquamentus_11]

Are neon tetras ok as feeders? I don't see them on either list (thiaminase pos. or neg.)

I'm doing some checking right now and I too can't find any info. one way or the other.
Better to play it safe and not feed until you know.

I watched a video in which the guy feeds his Natrix maura tetras.

Are you planning these to be a regular food source?

[aquamentus_11]

no, I just want to get her kick-started. I'm going to try some more guppies and some salmon too. If she takes those, I can move her to better things. Ideally, I want her on salmon and mice.

If you're offering guppies there shouldn't be any reason to offer tetras. I'm guessing.

I did not read anything bad with Tetra or Giant Danios. Both are a bit pricy but my eastern’s are not eating the Sliver Sides and guppies are just too small now.

So I pick a fish (tropical) from that not on that bad fish list Steve provided. No problems I can see.

well they're making enough noise and movement in the water bowl. she came out to look at them then went back under her rock. what a frustrating situation. ironic considering how long i researched and planned for her arrival. their feeding habits were what attracted me specifically to garters and that's the one thing mine won't do. poetic in a way.

I think this is a metaphysical....kind of mind control thing you've got going on. You are wanting this so much that you are actually making it "not happen". Maybe you need to sit back and just relax and believe it will happen when it happens. Just when you least expect it...she'll surprise you. Be zen about it.
