Should I...

[Brian_G]

Be target feeding my serpent star?

 

[dcantucson]

I don't see any harm. A lot of people do. So I guess the real question would be, "Why not?"

 

[AdeptMrSniffles]

I spot feed my brittle star. I know the little guy appreciates it. I say go for it.

 

[Brian_G]

Well I don't know why not. Good question. Well other than I don't hav any food besides pellets, frozen mysis, cubes and gnori. I think Thad how you spell it. Correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't think I can target feed it with any of those.

So I guess I'm asking. What to feed and how to do it?

 

[yote]

You can squirt it a little bit of mysis.At least thats what my stars get sometimes.

 

[dcantucson]

Actually my Serpents and Brittles eat mysis shrimp and they also love pellets and flakes. They don't seem to be picky.

Or, if they are the fish eating ones. Just a damsel or two every once in a while.J/K.

 

[Brian_G]

Haha I would feed it fish if I had one. But I don't.
So I melt part if a cube in a cup like normal and use somethng to aim close to him and squirt food near him?

 

[yote]

Yep.Thats all there is to it.

 

[Brian_G]

That's easy enough.

I don't want the him to die becausee he isn't getting food. Then I have a dead Star u der a rock and I will never know he's dead.

I bought a syrnige from petsmart used for medicating dogs for $4. I load the chamber with mysis and cyclopeeze. I'll feed my Duncan, and witht he food hitting the water my brittle will come wheeling outfrom under his rock, wrap an arm around the endof the syringe and catch some mysis that I squirt out for him. It's neat watching them eat. Also, I joy feed him once every week or 10 days.

Turkey basters work really well for target feeding anything.
