Virginia rail
The Virginia rail probe with its bill in mud or shallow water, also picking up food by sight. It mainly eat insects and other aquatic invertebrates, like beetles, flies, dragonflies, crayfish, snails and earthworms. It can also eat aquatic animals like frogs, fish and some small snakes, as well as seeds. Animal preys constitute the biggest part of this bird's diet, but vegetation contributes to its diet in the fall and winter.
Six-line wrasse
Six-lined wrasse specialize mostly in eating small benthic organisms, especially crustaceans. They seem to prefer amphipods, copepods, benthic-stage lobster larvae, small shrimp and fish eggs. They will also peck algae for extra nutrients and also because tasty morsels easily get stuck in the slimy goop. Six-line wrasse rarely get parasites since they eat the parasites themselves. There has been no specific documentation of this species succumbing to a disease such as saltwater ich, as they are extremely hardy fish. In captivity, they can be fed frozen or live food.
