Hi All,
 
So 3 days on since adding fish to my cycled tank my baby platies are now coming out from behind my plants.
 
I have been for the last 2 days taking 3-4 flakes, crushing them in my palm, and then sprinkling it into the tank.
 
The fish do seem a little lazy coming up for the food but seem to of started fighting over food at mid water level.
 
 
 
Most important of all this is the bit im stuck on. If say 30 little bits fall to the bottom, by the following day they have gone ( im assuming being eaten as ive seen the little platie come out when its dark).
 
Can i safely say feeding once a day 4 flakes is ok for 8 babies ??
 
And how long should i feed once a day for??
 
Please help,
 
thanks
