iv had two for about 2months now. how do i know if they are getting enough food

 

[17cuddlefish]

what size tank? From my knowledge they are scavengers and will eat what they can find. They get up to a foot around so they need a pretty large tank aspecialy with two of them. btw what size tank do you have?

 

[nofishnplease]

120g tall

hmm for now it seems like that would be fine. But after a while when they get bigger you may have to give one away.

 

[nofishnplease]

do i have to feed them by hand or will scavageing be enough

fauna is living animals. so it will eat some of the little animals in your sandbed like pods.
