Bn's

[Mystil]

How many times a week do you feed your BN's? and how long do you leave the food in the tank for?

Overnight?

Thanks

put some cucumber in and leave it overnight if possible as they are nocturnal

feed once a week, or or twice, if your tank has no algaea.

Also how many Bn's would be okay to fit into a 120 litre and a 180 litre?

I have in there at the moment (120) which is 6 months mature:
1 Blue ram
7 baby guppies (minute)
5 cories


And in my 180 litre I have 10 neon tetra.

about my last post, you need to feed more often if they are only small, sorry about that.

not sure on the stocking as the floor space is also imporatnt.

Aside from cucumber and zuchhini, what other foods would you recommend? I drop some cucumber or zuchinni in my 2 tanks for my plecos every couple of days, along with some algae pellets(Those are supposed to be for the Cory's, but the pleco in my community tank usually ends up hogging on of them). What are some other foods I could give them?

most sinking pellets tbh also apple . potatoe . lettace known other try banana but dont leave it in 2 long if u was 2 try as it fouls the water pretty quick other foods are tetra prima live foods like bloodworm . brine shrimp . daphnia..... i use so many differnt pellet foods for my plecs like quid , octopus , prawn etc but u have 2 considerer different plecs require different diets and BN's are more your veg eaters more than anythink else
