I Think I Overfed

[Trienchieu]

Okay I fed my fish today but I think I over did it by just a little, not a whole lot but only slightly more than wat I usually feed them. Some of the food have fallen in the roots of artificial plants and some fallen on top of my decoration. I have two mollies constantly looking for food after feeding time, will my fish find the food?

If your tank is well established prior to the overfeeding (ie zero ammonia and nitrites) then it will have only a minimal if any effect on your fish. Your mollies may find some of the food but most will probably just rot away. Do you have a siphon that you could use to remove the food?

They'll find it but it's better to remove uneaten food if you can. Maybe not feed them tomorrow, wont do them any harm.

your fish won't sufer from it.They will eat everything you throw at them.Your water however may be affected.My sugestion is try to syphon out all the food you can find on the gravel.And keep checking the quality of the water by testing,if you see a change that may affect the fishes remove some water and add new one.

That should help balance the water.
