I know, I know... I'm flooding the airways today with tons of questions, but I'm full of it, ummm I mean *them*...
So, Ive been watching my 20 high tank over the past few weeks when I feed them. (details in my sig) In 3 minutes all the fish continue to eat the flakes. I noticed, however, when feeding them flakes and frozen daphina the water spout send so much if it sinking into the water at one time they can't get to it all.
I have all sorts of bottom feeders to help with that, but it keeps making me wonder if I'm still feeding them too much. In a perfect world I'd be around to feed them less food 3 times a day, but due to work I am really limited to twice.
Am I missing a trick? Am I feeding too much? How can I tell, if I cut back, if they aren't getting enough?
