Not So Much Poo To Clean Why?

[marieukxx]

In my 60 litre I used to get quite a bit off poo to siphon especially in one corner by the filter. Recently I get hardly any which I'm guessing is a good thing? I clean once a week and the only change was giving my filter a clean and adding filter floss. Oh and I cut back a bit on the feedings I think I was giving too much.

Not as much food = not as much poo

Will just be because you are feeding less.

have you moved any decor round or changed your stocking at all?

...I cut back a bit on the feedings I think I was giving too much.

I think you might find that is why

Fish don't have any way of feeling 'full' like we do, so if you put the food in, they'll continue to eat it. Once they've got the food inside, it has to come back out again!

Yeah I thought that but is that ok or do you think I'm not feeding enough? They kept getting fat bellies before because I was just learning. Also I miss a day now too.

It's very, very difficult to underfeed fish; if their bellies are rounded and not sunken then they're fine

ok thanks.
