cats and large squashes
Since you guys raise small sized live foods I thought this might be the place to ask...
I have a couple of fish that pretty much only eat just hatched artemia nauplii. But according to Joyce Wilkerson the BBS lack DHA. I've been therefore growing the nauplii out for a couple of days & gut loading them with a fat supplement containing DHA.
My question: Are rotifers or any of the other small critters that can be hatched considered a "complete" food? I don't know what my fish live on in the wild, but I'm pretty sure it's not gut loaded BBS. I don't mind doing it, but I'm afraid it's not enough nutrition.
