Dont have to worry about pellet feeding wont be good enough for I have been using this kinda pellet even for my ray keep and they are all thick and big. Quality pellets are usually more healthy than just feeding raw or live. They contain more digestable protein and vitamin thus I dont think pellet feeding alone will be bad for them even in long run. But of course, some kinda raw meal will be served at times.

haha alright dude.

here's the recmnded list of food for newt cuz they have totally different diet.

I read about those stuffs before. It,s more like the western way of keeping their fish. But I'm more into my own way of keeping and see how they will work here.

alright dude keep updating.

Basically I'm treating them like frog. And I actually read alot into the ingredient in the pellet been made of. Thus I dont think there will be anything bad except goodness for the FBNs

I never pamper my fish one. Either they eat or they will die in my tank way of keeping. If you ask me, if they are smart enough to choose what they want to eat, then they wont be stupid enough to starve themselves to death.
