Hi,
I'm cycling my tank with 6 Juvenile Malawi Red Zebras and a 4 inch Red Tailed Black Shark (had no choice with putting the Shark in).
I'm a bit bemused by what to feed them and how often. Some people say a little bit 2 or 3 times a day, others say once every other day.
My local LFS sold me some Frozen Malawi Mix and said to add 1 square every other day. I did this but they only ate a bit of it, so I took it out to save it turning to Ammonia.
I then decided to try pellets so I could control the amount they get, I got the small ones but even those were too big and the fish just swam around with them stuck in there mouths (is this normal?).
Can anybody recommend a good feeding regime they have had success with?
Cheers,
Paul.
