Bad Water Change

[black angel]

That food i gave is mainly for omnivorous fish and i think the Bichir eats mostly meat.
As well as the tuna, *please use only tuna in water* you could get earthworms and some beef heart and maybe a few peas for digestion and then whizz that together.

ok thanks!what do you mean by "chill"refrigerate or freeze?srry i am just eager to try new foods with my fish,as feeding time is one of my favorite times to watch my fish!

Black angel you should start a new section called the fish kitchen for all the fish foody making stuff

Doubt the mods would be interested Jungle King,though its a good idea as most fish are fed flaked food.

To chill means to cool it before you freeze it, i dont think its wise to put anything still warm into the freezer.

 

[jungle king]

Letting hot stuff cool before going in the freezer is a good idea because a)food freezes quicker and B) if hot food goes in a freezer it uses more energy to freeze it as the temp in the freezer rises aswell same for fridges.
Being trained as a chef has some uses
