Hi my name is Jenn, and I am new to fish keeping. I have cherry barbs; 2 males and 4 females (plus 2 mystery snails and 10 ghost shrimp) in a 20 gallon, planted aquarium.
I am giving them tropical flakes, and micro pellets. They appear to like the micro pellets better. I thought that when I fed them they would all go up to the surface and eat. But that is not the case. A couple of the females will go up and get the floating food, but it appears more often that they like to catch it as it is falling, and the males mostly like to casually pick around the plants. Is this normal behavior for them?
Should I be feeding them something else?
