    When to feed my Malawi tank?

    I have a malawi tank with some bottom feeders. I rarely see the bottom feeders as they are nocturnal and only come out at night, should I feed my tank on the morning for the Malawi and hope the catfish get the food at the bottom, or feed at the night?

    Feeding My Otos Nori!

    Just thought this was cool, and haven't seen anyone else do it (I'm sure it's been done, though!) I keep some Nori (roasted, non-salted, human grade) around for when I make Miso Soup and for feeding my saltwater herbivores. I decided to try it on my ottos today, and they seemed to enjoy it! It...

    Hi have a betta fish and a few khuli loaches in an aquarium at home. I heard it would be best if I fed the loaches at night with the lights off because they are most active at night plus my betta would eat most of their sinking pellets before they do if i fed during the day.

    There have been quite a few posts recently about fish nutrition and many of these have been slightly misguided in their understanding of how fish nutrition works.
