  • @themermaidslairaquatics

    Very informational! So many people mess up their water chemistry wit how they feed.

    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
      @MichaelsFishRoom  Před rokem

      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

  • @sandradolbel2578
    @sandradolbel2578 Před rokem

    My pearl danios are piranhas 😆...but dr. B is a hit over here...great food. But I do what you do..drop pleco food just before lights out..all gone by the morning

  • @abravebirdsaved5363
    @abravebirdsaved5363 Před 5 měsíci

    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 🤣🤣🤣✅

  • @tylerclutts5778
    @tylerclutts5778 Před 6 měsíci

    Hey! If i have pictus catfish (who are frenzy feeders) who steal the whole algae wafer and swim off, how to i ensure my hillstream loaches can eat them too? trying not to overthink lol

    • @MichaelsFishRoom
      @MichaelsFishRoom  Před 6 měsíci

      I would feed the catfish on one side of the tank, then the loaches on the other.

  • @dailydad6335
    @dailydad6335 Před 7 měsíci

    How about the corydoras because once i dropped the food. I have 10 neon tetras and they will immediately eat majority of the food and only few will go at the bottom. For the 7 corries

    My flowerhorn/ guppy community tank is difficult… my flowerhorn Fillmore seems to never be hungry and I can never find the guppies. I guess they are really good at hiding 🤷‍♂️

    What about if it's a community tank and there's a Koi fish that eats up the food before the other fish can eat?

    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
      @ivancho5854 Před rokem

      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 use a dehumidifier.

  • @catfishcave379
    @catfishcave379 Před rokem

    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?

    "açai " It's pronounced kind of like you said but without extending "iiiii" in the end.

  • @lochie1981
    @lochie1981 Před rokem

    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.

    • @MichaelsFishRoom
      @MichaelsFishRoom  Před rokem

      And the type of food, type of fish. Angels of fish and more.

  • @thehairywoodsman5644
    @thehairywoodsman5644 Před rokem

    the constant need to buy food for the fishes is my least favorite part of the hobby .
    this is why I believe hamsters are the best pets ...they only live 3 to 7 days and do not require food or water !

  • @manuel9219
    @manuel9219 Před rokem

    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.
