like not feed them for a day i heard this is good i just wanted to see if it was true
my feeding is very crazy, some day's yes, then a day no then yes, then a couple of days no, then a day with very little, then a couple of days nothing again, then a feast of a day and so on
They always get great reports from members here. Particularly useful for a suspected constipation case.de-shelled peas anyone?
Ah, very enjoyable that I got it right. I'm sure you will appreciate this too: I've come to give a bit of a smile when I see some extra food making it too the bottom as it makes me think about some of Diana's chapters. I also of course know that my tank maintenance habits will never get so bad as to let it become a problem causer for me. WDWD you are right about how I do things. I seldom skip a day and sometimes feed the smaller fish twice a day but very little each time. I also do not get all stressed if I need to miss a day because I know that my fish are well fed and they can miss a day with no real trouble. Since almost all of my tanks contain some fry, I try not to tempt the adults by letting them get really hungry. I breed mostly livebearers who are notorious for being fry eaters but I also have good survival rates because my fish seldom really get hungry. Fry growth would dictate feeding several times a day but I am not that fanatic about growth rates and am patient enough to let them grow at a reasonable rate. Frequent feeding like I do can be dangerous if you don't have a pretty good feel for how much your fish will eat in a single feeding.
