New Tank Set Up, Help Needed

[chrismackz]

Ive had my tank set up for a couple of months now. Got 16 fish (2 plattys, 4 neons, 5 x rays) in now, put 5 glo lights in tonight which i was sold flake food for.

Says on the box 2-3 flakes per fish 2 or 3 times a day. I was feeding the original 11 a a pellett each once a day. Not sure what combination of food to use now. Any advice would be great as very new to keeping fish.

Cheers

A variety of food and veggies is the best thing you can do for your fish. Everyone feeds differently so it is just a personal preference. I feed my fish three times a day but very small amounts. That way there is less waste and they eat it all. In the morning I feed them their staple diet, afternoon I feed them some veggies with a veggie clip and at night I feed them some treats like krill, blood worms, plankton, ect. On the weekends they get some frozen foods like blood worms, brine shrimp, cocktail shrimp, ect.

i feed mine twice a day (morning/ night) i give them a pinch of flake and dried daphnia (am) and then a pinch of flake and EITHER frozen bloodworm, cucumber, or sinking pellets for bottom feeders.
