Thanks for that, I've got an electronic feeder too but that doesnt seem to be working properly (think its condensation/humidity) the flakes seem to stick to the opening and very little comes out.
Would it be worth try with granules or is it better to just play it safe and let someone feed them?
I already have a timer for the light, so thats okay. What about the airstone, should I leave that on all the time?
thanks again - harry
