I just rescued a lesser siren yesterday, the previous owner was feeding it freeze-dried krill (The Zoo Med Turtle Treats) but I know that's probably not the best diet for them. He's only about 5", what do you recommend feeding? Thanks!

@lauraccoxable Frozen (not freeze-dried) bloodworms are a great staple. You can get them at petco. Also live red worms and earthworms (when they are big enough) can be given a few times a week. Diverse food sources are important for these guys. I don't recommend feeding them small fish though, because the fish could give them parasites.

Great video! What is your maximum water temperature? I'm considering getting a lesser but my water temp could go as high as 82 F.

[reptilianangel]

The chiller keeps the tank between 66F and 69F.

[cornsnaker]

How much did you pay for the chiller, if you don't mind me asking?

[reptilianangel]

It was about $400 plus we had to by a $80 pump to work with it.
