hey all
i had a question to ask
i have 7 discus at least 4 inches now
and i always drop 2 cubes of food for them
well 8 but the 8th one is older than all my kids age put together and doesnt eat much
anyway its gone very fast
so my question is how many cubes now
i feed bh mix alot and the loose pieces of food are taken care of by tetras,rams cories, an loaches
so thers no food sitting around to worry about fouling
how much would you feed with seven pigs with fins

I got 7 of 5", one tea spoon pelletes and one table spoon frozen BH and shrimp at night. 2 cubes are way under feeding.
a good feeding means everyone's belly swells up a bit. should take 5 to 15 minutes to eat all the food
