He's a really good eater, he eats nearly everything I give him. Because he seems so voracious, I wonder if I'm not feeding him enough (plus he's pretty active). He's about 4in long and he's the only fish in the tank.   He seems to like shrimp pellets best (though I do give him algae wafers less...

Hi everyone,   Just wondering if you were to feed a catfish pellets would the other fish eat it before them? If so, would sinkable pellets be better. Any suggestions would be great.   Many thanks,   Fishyfish890

I have recently started building up a fish tank and I now have 4 guppies, 5 tiger barbs, 1 angel fish and 1 discus. As a treat I'd like to feed them frozen blood worms, would one full cube be too much for them? How much of the cube would be appropriate to feed them, also how many times in a day...

Hello, Can anyone help please? Im not quite sure how much to feed my 3 guppies in my tank. I have recently setup my fluval edge 23L tank and have been feeding the fish twice daily according to the instructions on the flakes packet. But ive noticed that theres alot of flakes floating around now...

Usually I feed my Betta, Javier a few pellets one by one.  Tonight for some reason, I held the open container in my hand near the tank.  Unfortunately my hand shook and i basically dumped about a quarter of the container into my 5 gallon tank!  Pellets everywhere.  Of course Javier was gulping...

I have been feeding Javier Hikari Bio Gold Betta pellets since I got him 10 days ago.  He has been eating them just fine.  Reading through some old threads I saw that Omega One is a recommended  food so I picked up a very small container of their Betta pellets today.  I offered one to Javier...

I just bought a baby betta yesterday. I am a collage student and am going back home Friday night but will return Sunday afternoon. Is it okay to not feed it for Saturday? I know with adult bettas its preferred to fast them one day a week but I know babies are a little more demanding (as are any...

Hi does anyone here have a good idea of how much earthworms can be given to new world cichlids? I know that bloodworms should be fed in moderation because they can cause constipation and such, but what about red wriggler worms? I feed them live or newly chopped up. Below are my cichlids and...

Hi everyone,   I have had this lovely sea urchin thrown into my care. I wasn't planning on having any for quite some time but alas I have one.   I know the set up, general care, salinity, all that good stuff for salt water inverts and tanks. But I was wondering if anyone knew what species/kind...

Hi All,   This is somewhat of a newbie question, but i've been running my tank successfully for 2.5 years now, so it's more of an intermediate advice question.   I have a 37 gallon tank with: 1 x half black Angel Fish (about 3.5") 8 x Diamond Tetras (2" max) 1 x Salt and Pepper Corydora   I've...

Here are a few of my Red Belly Piranha videos. It took over a year to put this shoal together. I started rescuing them from local fish stores. I was going to start with juvies but I saw two big guys in a very small tank with half dead goldfish swimming with them. I felt bad for them, so I bought...

I have two plecos, a "common" (P. Pardalis) and a gold nugget.  I try to feed all my fish a variety of different foods, so I'm interested to know what all you guys have had success feeding your plecos.   I have a long light cycle to encourage algae growth in the tank.  Apart from that, I feed...

I started my tank about two months ago. I have the fish for... 4-7 weeks. When I bought them, they were "normal". Now, the molly (if it's a molly), my guppy and my tetras seem really fat compared to how they were. Until about two weeks ago, I thought it's ok, but now they seem to be a little bit...

Hi all,   I'm getting 10 Pygmy Corys soon for my 22 gallon tank and I'm wondering what to feed them.   What do you feed yours?   What foods do they love?   Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I feed my fish an hr to 2 hrs b4 I change the water. How long do I wait b4 I feed them again? It's a tropical tank. I do 1/4 of the water and add Quick start to my bucket as I refill, 1/2 the amount per each 2 buckets. I add Stress Coat after that to the waterfalls stream from my filter for...

So I was curious to see all the fish profiles of my fish on SeriouslyFish, and I realized I have really screwed up! I jumped into the tank with one idea and switched halfway through and didn't do my research -_-. Also Some other stuff to do with my tank.   Tank stats that matter to fish.  -240L...

I've got loads of crickets to feed my frogs and I want to try to give my neon tetras some variety. The crickets are about 1/2 cm long and the neon tetras are about 3-4 cm. can I feed my neon tetras crickets or would this be a bad idea?

I'm about done fishless cycling my 120gal tank (48 x 24 x 24), so I'm in the process of preparing to add my full fish load once it's ready so as not to loose any of my beneficial bacteria. My initial plan is to stock with 5 adult clown loaches and a handful of tetra, danios, and barbs. I'm not...

Hi!

The first three of my soon to be 6 discus are on day two of settling in and for the life of me can not figure out where the terms "hard to feed", "skittish" and "timid" come into play! This is their second night with me and they are feeding like right little pigs! Also, already setting up a...

I have a rusty pleco and am unsure what to feed him. So far he gets cucumber twice a week, algae wafers every night, for him and 6 corys, but the platys and tetras help themselves. I have tried apple, no success, he has a small piece of driftwood but doesn't seem very interested at the mo. Any...
