Feeding Worries?

[Bambi211]

Heyyy.. Does anyone know roughly how much i should be feeding my fish per day.

I have 3 neon tetras,4 lamp eyes, and 1 glow eye. and two medium sized clown loaches.

Ive been putting 1 tablet in (pretty good sized tablet, not to big not to small)

and ive been putting flake food in too. Is that enough?

I dont want to overfeed...?

Any advice??

The best way is to just experiment first. If you put so much food in that the fish ignore it and it settles to the bottom, well then you are over feeding. You should see how much your fish will eat, and once they reach that point stop putting in more food. usually a couple of pinches will work for those kinds of fish. For the bottom dwellers its much more challenging. Have you noticed any left over particles from the tablet, or are the loaches looking skinny?

i think the general 'rule' is no more than they can eat within 2 mintues. If you over feed, dont worry about it, just syphon the excess food out

as much as your fish can consume in a few minutes.

i love to feed my fish and pinch by pinch i feed them until they cant keep up anymore
