Feeding coral with white/raw ikan bilis

[joeyttk]

Hi,

I bought an eel from another SRC member recently. Instead of feeding eels with prawn, I found a more economical substitute in supermarket.

The ikan bilis is white in colour and average around 1 cm in lenght. Can I also use them to feed my brain ?

have not tried yet, dun want to cause any indigestion. please advise

thanks

joey.

I believe what joeyttk had is the fresh type.

I have used those to feed my anemone, bubbles and sun corals etc. No problem, I just break it to smaller portion before feeding corals.

As I said earlier, it's the fresh type not the dried ones. Normally, I get it from supermarket, 100g lasts a long time.

look..... imagine a ikan bilis not dried, freshly caught from the sea. How it looks like? If you still don't know, then can somebody care to take a picture of it?

silverfish or ikan billis all come from the sea. As long as they are fresh not dried, the sodium level should be acceptable and can be used.
