Ado Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) I know DFF uses Mulberry leaves, but unfortunately there isn't anyone considerate enough to be growing a tree in my neighborhood that I can pinch some leaves from. So just wondering, what do people feed their cherries as I am after some other ideas on what to feed them. They are in a tank with some Neons. Thanks Ado.

swampy1972 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 If you have them in a well planted tank then I wouldn't worry about feeding them anything special - maybe the odd algae wafer when you think of it.. They'll get plenty from their surroundings and it will help minimise the risk of Planaria and snail outbreaks due to over feeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyfish Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I use mulberry leaves too, sliced zucchini works well, especially if you have bristlenose that can eat it too. Sinking algae wafers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andycumbo Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Any one who wants some mulberry leaves that can travel to Shailer Park just PM me. I have 2 huge trees that need a prune and I was thinking of doing it on Wednesday. I will keep the trimmed branches for a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlum Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 mulberry trees will grow from a cutting so all you need to do is get a cutting from someone who has a mulberry tree or just buy one from bunnings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
