Feeding Guidelines

[mifty12]

Hi Guys

If you read my sig you'll see what i have in my tank. I have a worry. My bristle nose is doing a fantastic job of cleaning up my tank glass, i am supplementing him and the loaches with algae wafers. I have taken to feeding these last thing at night but i am concerned that the others, mainly the diamonds, are eating them before the night time crowd venture out, how can i be sure that they are getting some food. I am feeding them hikari algae wafers and was also wondering how many on average i should be putting in for them bearing in mind the bristlenose is about 2.5" and the loaches are about 1.25" each.

Cheers

I put two algae wafers ever three days and try and get a piece of cucumber a couple of times a week. Break the wafers in half and put them different sides of the tank.

If you give your fish a varied diet, the catfish are too - there's bound to be some leftovers around which will please them!! Have you any bogwood for the bn to rasp on?

I think most people worry whether their pl*cos are eating at first - just keep an eye on them and you'll get to know if they're happy or hungry!

As you can see from my tank in my sig I have a piece of mopani which he virtually lives in. Thanks for the pointers
