Are all my fish getting fed?

Question

I feed them every other day like I was ordered from the place I got them from. I got three tetras, all look alike. But when I feed them they all swim so fast I'm not sure who's getting food. I dropped 4 pieces this morning but for all I know the same fish could have eaten all of the food. Any ideas how to keep track and make sure I feed each and every one of them?

Answer 1

No need to worry, they are all getting some food. I would suggest though that you feed them more often. I feed my fish twice a day and feed them all they can eat in 2-3 minutes. They will also do better on a varied diet. Feed them flakes once a day and something else, like bloodworms, daphnia or brine shrimp the other time. This leads to much better nutrition for the fish.

The big bully will eat the 1st and follow by the small one, so the trick is to feed a bit more but not too much till the water turn bad.

Answer 3

I own a small pet store. The focus is on fish. I have 33 tanks ranging from 15-38 gallons (most are 20 longs) with about 100 different tropical freshwater fish. I feed twice a day. Depending on who is getting fed, they get a variety of Tetramin foods. Sinking tablets, flakes and granules depending on who is in the tank. Most tanks get more than one type of food.
Black tetras are very aggressive eaters compared to neon tetras, so I don't put them in the same tanks. By the same token, my goldfish are only with gold fish. My cichlids are with other cichlids, though obviously angel fish aren't with yellow labs.
So long as your tank is compatible, everyone is getting fed.
