Feeding Length

[SNap0283]

So when i feed my juvies whether it be BH mix or flakes or pellets, how long do i keep the extra food in the tank? Im still getting used to how much to feed them each time so ive been overfeeding them. How long should i wait before i vacuum out the exess? It doesnt matter how long i leave it there they continue to pick at it slowly for hours until its gone. Should i just leave it in for hours? Wont that foul up the water pretty bad? Or once they sorta of just passively pick at it 10-15mins in should i clean up the extra from there? Im curious what everyone else does.

I usually give them up to 20 mins for dry food which is more then sufficient time as all is gone by then.........As for BH mix, I give them 15 mins or so.....What's left they won't eat anyway.

I usually 5 mins, don't over feeding your fish could get Hex or worst. I only give a little extra when all gone than next half hour feed them other thing.
