While they did reproduce, the majority of them stayed under the rocks. In hindsight, I should have gone with a bare bottom tank. The tank also got really dirty from the scuds and the food I put in for them. The rocks and scuds themselves made it nearly impossible to clean the tank without sucking up a ton of them. I've been doing brine shrimp instead (see my video). That way I don't have to deal with a nasty scud tank lol (at least in an apartment). There are 2 ram cichlids in this tank now - video coming soon!
I bought 200 off the same guy. No complaints other than trying to open the bag lol
Tell me about it... Definitely not the kind of water you want to be dropping anywhere.
So... One year later. Do you still have the scuds? Did they populate enough to be a food source? Any surprises?
