yellow watchman food?

just going over a possible fish list and i always wanted a yellow watchman but would like to know more on their feeding habits, particulary if they eat prepared foods readily (flakes)

Mine will eat anything! I usually feed frozen mysis but she has eaten pellets too

oh cool
is a sinking pellet best?

dobejazz · 10-17-2006, 07:45 PM

I think so Especially for the bottom feeders to get some

Yellow watchman are huge diggers, aren't they?

dobejazz · 10-17-2006, 09:17 PM

Mine isn't

i think its the pistol shrimp that does the digging, watchman is just the lookout

Yep mine was a pig. Frozen, mysis, flake, pellet she ate it all. RIP. Miss her and plan to get my 20 up and running again soon. Think I will get a watchman pair and a cleaner shrimp. Great personality in these guys.
