Hi everyone,
I've been into this wonderful hobby for about six month and i have a healthy and very well established tank.
My question might sound silly considering how long i had the aquarium, but how much do i need to feed them ?
Everywhere i read it stated to feed as much as your fish will consume in 3 minuted.
The problem i have is that my fish not only will consume everything that i feed them, so no flake touched the bottom, but after they done with flakes they will go after any sinking wafle (algae or otherwise) and finish it before my corydoras have much of a chance. So i end up constantly overfeeding them so my catfish and Corydoras can get some too.
They also consume any fry they find and about a week ago i dropped 3 decent size ghost shrimps and obviously nowhere to been seen anymore. They all pretty fat and healthy looking. I do feed them everyday (1 big portion daily or 2 small portions 2x a day).

ANY suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.
I do feed some frozen and freeze dried foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, tubifex worms, river shrimp, baby brine shrimp, micro crabs, shrimp pellets and few types of sinking wafers. So you name it - they getting it.
Its just ever since both of my fry batched grow to adult size i lost the track of feeding amount and seems they consume everything regardless the amount.
And as you can see from my sig i have almost 30 fish so im not sure if a pinch will be enough ?

Thanks.
