Sirens and trout chow

[Jake]

Yesterday I was testing if my small (4-6 inch) Siren intermedia juveniles would eat some fingerling trout pellets, and was surprised to find that they did! So, today I put a few of the floating 1/4" pellets in my tank with the 9-12 inch S.intermedia, and they ate them too! The brand is Aquamax.

Has anyone else tried dry food for this species?

That brand is the same as what I use to raise all of my axolotls from 2" to adulthood as well, but I never thought the sirens would be interested in them.

Wow cool. I have to get some of these becuse if your sirens will eat them Im sure my hungry (and vicious when it comes to food) will eat them.

Some of the S. intermedia and S. lacertina I worked with would take the pellets others would not. There was also a season variation in the foods they would accept.
