Reply To: Feeding time.
Before I had the breeding tank, my CPD’s were in a tank with a bunch of White Cloud Minnows, some x-ray tetras and 2 gouramis. In this situation, they were always taking food directly from the top, but this is probably because they wouldn’t get any food if they didn’t join the feeding-frenzy at the surface.
I’d hypothesize that without any other species in the tank they prefer to play it safe and avoid the surface, but if they’re not alone, they’ll go up to the top?
