are 1mm NLS pellets small enough for cyps and shellies? Or should i get the .45 mm?

My bigger Cyps can handle the 1 mm but the smaller females seem to need the Grow size.

 

[CichlidAndrew]

how small are your females?

 

[triscuit]

My 1" cyp fry can eat the 1 mm size, and my multifaciatus colony multiplies on the 1 mm pellets. If I have new fry in my cyp grow-out tank (babies having babies), I'll crush some 1mm pellets before throwing them in.

I do use the Grow formula for baby gobies, cyps, and julies when they're young, but I don't feel it's particularly necessary.

Hey triscuit! (just wanted to say hey)

anyway, I feed my tank the 1mm and they all eat it no probs. The vast majority of fish in the tank are juvies and they eat it no problem. Sometimes they'll chew it and spit it out if its too big, but then they eat it again b/c its been broken up from them chewing and spitting it out.

You could also soak the pellets for a couple of minutes before feeding them. This will soften the pellets making it easier to eat for them. Or even crush them up a little aqnd feed that way as well.
