New Fish

[steve_b21]

I dded my fish into my new tank arund mid night.

12 Neon Tetra
3 Widow Tetra
6 Guppies

I have some flake food, when should i feed them?

Also, i noticed since adding them to the water, 1 Guppy just seems to be happy sitting behind the filter on the top right corner of tank, doesnt really want to move from there.... My tank is in a wall, and at the moment i have no plants, ornaments etc.... so do you think he is just looking for a hide out area?

from you sig im guessing its got a volume of 100 litters. did you cycle you tank firstly?
if you did then feed a very small amount tonight and start feeding a pinch (small pinch, but not a tiny one either) once every day from then onwards.

Yes, tank is fully cycled

the widow tetras muight chew the male guppies up. They are notorious fin nippers.
Feed the fish in the morning an hour or so after you turn the room lights on or open the curtains. If you have a light unit on the tank then turn the room lights on/ open the curtains, leave for an hour, then turn the tank lights on. Feed the fish and hour after that. By having the lights on for a while before feeding you allow the fish to wake up and they should eat the food when offered. Many people feed the fish as soon as the lights go on but it isn't good for the fish and most of the food gets wasted.
