| When your feeding your fish the biggest thing is | | | | big your food should be, then comes the next |
| to not have a lot of it sitting on your substrate at | | | | hurdle of how long you should feed them for at a |
| the end of a feeding session. If in your case you | | | | feeding session. How I judge this is I'll see how |
| do have food floating around and sitting on the | | | | much food the fish can eat with out it hitting the |
| your substrate, and your fish are not eating | | | | substrate. So if your feeding your fish and the |
| anymore, then you are feeding to much. One of | | | | food is just reaching the substrate then |
| the easiest things to switch when feeding your | | | | immediately getting eaten then your in good |
| aquarium pet fish is to make sure that the food is | | | | shape. After I do this little test of how close to |
| similar to the size of your pet fishes mouth. So | | | | the substrate the food can fall before getting |
| for example, if you have small fish like guppies, | | | | eaten I'll then wait about 30 second before adding |
| platys, mollies, neons of all kinds, fish along those | | | | more food. This is so the fish can get down |
| sizes it just does not make sense to feed them a | | | | what's in their mouths already so that when there |
| flake the size of a quarter now does it. | | | | is more food put in to the water that they can |
| So if you do have fish along these sizes then | | | | eat it all before it falls in to the substrate where if |
| your flake should be the size of a dime or so. | | | | not eaten, will pollute the water in the tank. |
| Once you get the first hurdle past, which is how | | | | |
