Angels acting strange

[freshcichlid]

i have noticed in the past week my angels are always going to the bathroom and there are little pieces all over the tank, very very noticable. is this ok or am i feeding them too much or is there not explination for this?

I dont think its anything serious, atleast you know that they are poopin

My angels do this from time to time, i dont think it is anything bad.

i was just wondering if it were because i was feeding them too much or something like that!

Well, although I also say there's probably nothing to worry about, perhaps you can note what you feed them and how much of each. I can assure you that if you let them completely fill their bellies on prepared foods (flakes and pellets) they are getting too much.

well i have 4 cories, 2 angels, 2 rams, 1 pleco, 3 neons and i use to give them like two pinches of flakes, but now i give them one frozen brine shrimp cube between them all, and an occassional algae wafer i will start 1-2 times a week i guess ?

As long as the feces is brownish, tan, greenish, anything but white & mucosy they are fine. Brine shrimp is good for angels, though angels are bad for neons. Neons are good for angels though. it's their natural food in the wild. Some people have success keeping them together, from what I have found if it moves & the angel thinks it will fit in it's mouth, it will get eaten. Angels can open their mouths larger than you think.

"Feed only the amount that will be consumed within 2 minutes" - a good little rule.

If you use this rule with pellets, you are feeding too much.
