Good pointers on feeding and how much they need depending on the age of the fish. A lot of folks sometimes look at their fish begging for food and over feed them resulting in nitrate and phosphate issues.

Thanks again for another amazing video! There are tons of videos explaining what to feed your fish but not to many that explain how much and why!

Your Room is AWSOME bro loving the information.

Tricky thing is I have a angel fish community tank. I have rams in there, gouramis, rosaline sharks, Tetras, angelfish and platties. Overall about 30+ fish. I have no idea how many flakes I should put in. I just toss 2 pinches in there and hope for the best lol

Thank you! Great and clear information!

Size of the eyes is a great clue!
I have just a little problem with one kind of fish: harlequin rasporas! 3 are overweight, 8 are pretty thin. They are way too slow for the rest of the tank (incl different tetras). So these 8 get a bit of an extra treatment. Feeding by hand and lots of live food.

I always overfeed, I always think their tiny, minuscule little tummies are heaps bigger than they are. I've got millions of snails to clean up. 🤣. Thanks Zenzo

I really appreciate your approach. I do NOT buy into the concept of “a hungry fish is a healthy fish”, or “fish are opportunistic feeders”. I could say the same thing about humans, you “can” get away with feeding them every other day and they will probably be healthy (and look like slim/healthy Europeans). But most of these fish are from tropical environments where there is a constant flow of nutrients, algae, mosquitoes, worms, etc.
There are multitudes of different fish in nature all cohabiting and that is why I have a multi-Spectrum tank. Maybe that is why I feed twice a day and sometimes throw in an algae wafer or a sprinkle of slow sinkers during the day. The top feeders are all very active in my tank and the corydoras are apeshit thrilled when some gets goes to the bottom. There isn’t a piece of food left over in my tank, no one is going to let that happen. The Chinese algae eater comes out from wherever he is working when the wafer hits bottom. Him and the corys work on it all day. Its a very active tank, no slow fish here. Neons & clown killafish are up top, corys and CAE on the bottom. I feed frozen bloodworms and/or daphnia. My nitrates and ammonia are always normal or low and the CAE and snails keep algae in control. 20g tank, canister filter, 79 degrees, lots of low-tech plants. Its easy to maintain with only occasional water changes. Easy…. except the flurry of activity tends to uproot plants!

Taxawa. Question - do you store fish food in room temperature? Or in the fridge?

[drewsta]

A lot of helpful info. Helps a lot especially when your oscars are always begging for food!! Lol

[Aquatic_Amigo]

Another great helpful vedio .., gracias

[jensmith]

hi again, can you do a video on feeding your 'multi tanks' and other shellies.. how much and how often and so on? thanks *S

[theblindfishkeeper]

I keep all different kinds of fish in my collection. From large to small. I feed generally once a day and I feed a little bit at a time until food starts making it to the bottom. Young fish I feed twice a day.

Great thoughts. Thank you for sharing! - Little Bobby

In poland we say that hungry fish means healthy fish. I rarely feed my fish everyday and unless it's weekend I never feed them more than once per day. I am talking about adult fish obviously.

Thanks for the info. Great video as always
