Tropheus Bemba Red`s

[australia]

hello, today i got 6 Tropheus bemba Red`s, i have them in a 160litre tank with lots of white rock, no substrate, i have a powerfull canister filter and some water pumps to push the water around. it is a well mature tank with alge for them to eat, im wondering how mutch should i feed them since they eat the alge too? 1 time a day? and can i buy bloat medication online in australia? just incase they get it!
Also they are at 5cm, i have never had tropheus before so a i am after as mutch info as i can find!

IMO
you bought too few and certainly put them in a too small tank. whats your ph in that tank?

always helps to buy AFTER reading up on them!

I'm not familiar with meds that are available in Australia, you might ask in Tropical Chat.
