What are you feeding your Satanoperca daemons?

[DBam]

I've noticed my 3 daemons, about 3-4" each, are picky eaters. I've had success with bloodworms and spirulina flake. However, any size pellet has been rejected. It's not that they're not interested, they just can't seem to chew them and they pass right through their gills. I've noticed this with larger flakes too. Literature suggests they feed on very small food in the wild, with most people claiming the daemon diet is insect larvae-based, while others claim their diet is vegetation-based.

So, what do you feed your daemons?

I've used the smallest baby sized NLS pellets before on my daemon. That was the only thing I was feeding in that tank. But yes, they were picky to start. I was feeding mysis and bloodworm for the first while, then stopped and went pellets. After a little while, they were gobbling down pellets no problem. Hungry guys.
