featherdusters?

[buffett]

i have a 3 gal pico tank and i was wondering if i could put 1-2 featherdusters in it?
if so would i need to give them some kind of suppliment food?
just wondering, thanks for any info.

A feather duster would be cool in your pico. They are filter feeders, so squirting some phytoplankton in there regularly will be just fine.

ive heard of this stuff called marine snow will that work?

I plan on putting a featherduster in my 2 gal. hex so i did some research and a article in AFM (aquarium fish mag.) said the best way to feed FDs is to mash up frozen meaty food and then squirt the "juice" into the feathers once a week. The feathers should recoil once they feel the food.
