i keep waiting until my patient goes down so anyone got any suggestion what food it need to eat and when does it lay eggs

Answer 1

blood worms are great! also any other kind of worm would work too.

Answer 2

cut out the goldfish, these are the equivalent of Mcdonalds cheeseburgers and offer no nutrition whatsoever, and if they were fed this only they could even suffer vitamin deficiency problems caused by a bacteria contained within the goldfish.

stick to more natural foods like earthworms, bloodworm, crickets and fruit flies. live foods like those generally will keep the fish in optimum breeding conditions.
