Hey, just curious to what you all feed your Swordtails? I've been feeding him some flakes, but he doesn't seem too keen on them, should I look for a sinking pellet of some kind? Thanks,

Ours eat a variety of 3 different flake foods and once a week baby brine shrimp.
They also get live insects during the spring and summer.

Would he eat crickets?

Dino

Small ones.

What other kinds of insects can you feed them?

Dino

Anything small enough to fit in their mouth's that are not hard ( such a bettles) and comes from an area that has not been sprayed by insectasides.

I feed mine brine shrimp, tubiflex worms, shrimp pellets, blood worms, veggie flakes and vitamins (alternating them). They love the variety and sulk if I forget and feed them the same thing twice in a row.
