How much food flakes should feed 5 small black moor fish ?

Question

I read the bottle and it says several times a day the size of a penny in the palm of the hand for 10 fish. is this only one flake or layers of flakes as thick as a penny? I guess for 5 it would be half that. It does not seem like near enough.

Answer 1

Feed them twice a day, as much as they will eat in under 2 minutes
start off with a few flakes, and see if it is gone after 2 minutes, if it's gone in under a minute, just give them a bit more
you will get the hang of it on how much you need to feed them, once you fed them a few times
Also, any leftover food should be netted out after 2 minutes





Hope that helps
good luck

Answer 3

Feed fish what they can completely finish in 3 minutes, once a day, or split into 2 1 minute and 30 second feedings. Add it a little at a time to avoid leftovers. Dont let him trick you into feeding him more than that, they will always beg for food. At least till they learn the schedual.

Answer 4

3 flakes per fish at night (close the filter during feeding time )

Answer 5

if you break up the 5 flakes it could probly feed double the 5 fish

Answer 6

Feed them half the penny. If they eat it all after in falls to the bottom and they are still hungry repeat the same amount. That should be plenty.

Answer 7

a fine small pinch every two days or every day, depending if u want to clean the tank and filter more often than usual.

try and give them some aquarium plants aswel as this will help with there nutrients and vitamin intake

Answer 8

A small pinch (between thumb & forefinger) twice per day.

Answer 9

i would personally do a pinch in the morning and a pinch at night but not a small pinch, a medium size it would probaly be fine for them

Answer 10

a dash twice a day the size of a penney
