Hey, Fishy Fox!!!! Great video!!! I have catfish in all of my tanks (with other top swimming fish). I just be sure to overfeed so enough gets down to the bottom. I do feed different stuff every time. I mean, I mix it. But only frozen foods twice a week, and always algae wafers for my Plecos. I also like Repashy. But I think it's just because I love the idea of "cooking" a meal for my fish. Heehee! I do big water changes though.

Thanks for the video. I need to make sure Corydoras eat in comunity tank? I also feed what you feed...😊 I also add sinking pellets for corydoras but the other fish go and eat the cory food when done eating their food so the corydoras don't really get proper time to eat.

@MichaelsFishRoom Жыл бұрын

Feed the other fish on one side of the tank, when they are eating, feed the Corys on the other side.

.. Feeding little is better than feeding exces and still they finish in a minute.. I just feed very little twice a day... But is it recommended to feed alternate days? Because less food is better than more

I have a community tank with a big gold Molly who thinks ALL the food is his . He gets the top , middle and bottom feeder food. He will even swim under any plant to take the Cory food and push them off 🐠 he’s a big meany and a fat one at that 🤣🤣🤣✅

I no this question has nothing to do with this video I’m going to be moving my 20 plus tanks from my garage to my basement I was wondering how you keep the moisture down in your fish room I do have one dehumidifier in my basement

@ivancho5854 Жыл бұрын

Let me be upfront: I don't have a fish room and I would never have one in my basement because of the high chance of dampness in my climate. You are asking this question at the right time - before you move them. Remember that moisture in the air will condense on cold surfaces even if you can't see where this happens and over time could utterly destroy your house and your health and that is no exaggeration. Tight fitting lids will definitely help you a LOT. Make them easy to use. Heat your tanks less, or better yet not at all, rather heat the space. Dehumidifiers are good, but is yours sized correctly? You may want to insulate your basement depending on where you are. Think about installing a vapour barrier to keep the moisture IN and then ventilate adequately. Fans to remove damp air can be controlled by moisture meters. Measure your current moisture and temperature in different parts of your house before setup to give you a baseline and then routinely to give yourself advanced warning of problems. Your house heating/cooling system will govern some of your decisions. This is a far more complex problem than it first appears and a lot of your decisions will depend on your climate, so get some professional advice even if you do all the work yourself. After assessing exactly what you require to move your fish ask yourself again why you you want to move and given the cost and work required does the move still make sense to you. It may not anymore or it may confirm your decision. I hope that this helps and good luck.

I feed mine bacon creamed corn, scalloped potatoes, cranberry salsa, stuffing, green bean/gruyere casserole and turkey. Wait… what? Oh … thought you mean’t feeding my gut. I’m actually amazed at how little small tetras eat. Since I just started keeping small fish again instead of my clown pigs and rainbows etc; I have had to get a little itty bitty spoon rather than my teaspoon to feed. No wonder micro pellets/flakes come in small jars. I feed Omega One; but it is disappearing everywhere. Do your sources in the industry know whether they have gone out of business? Does anyone know?

Doesn't the amount of food vary depending on how many fish you have? You can't feed a tiny amount to 50 fish when only 10 fish are likely to end up being able to grab the food.

People always tell me: "Don't overfeed knifefish it will reduce their lifespan!" I feed him appropriately but the bastard has a big mouth and finishes so fast that he ends up stealing all the fiber rich pellets from my catfish (that he's not supposed to eat because the fiber isn't good for him), by the end he's got a huge belly and will probably die before his 3rd birthday. That's about the extent of my troubles with feeding.
