Fish Fanatic
My swordtail just ate pretty much all the food that floated on the surface and she's still foraging for food on the floor. It seems like it's not a sign of underfeeding.I didn't mean to continue feeding for 15 mins, i meant that every last bit should be gone within 15 mins. I got this info from 3 fish keeping books i have. Its a good guide for not overfeeding but I would say if neons are foraging for food, they are too hungry. If the food is gone in seconds, its not enough. I feed my fish daily and they eat flake, bloodworm and green foods. Variety is best for your fish and you can usually tell if they are too hungry. If you have a feeling, your instinct is probably right
Regarding the askers fish, it probably is a sign of underfeeding. If he thinks they're being underfed and they look hungry, they probably are. i can't speak for your swordtails
