Hi guys,

Last time I had fish I remember them only eating once every two days or so, anything more and they didn't touch the food.

Fast forward 10 years later. I have three fancy tail guppies in a tank with three ghost shrimp and a nerite snail. The guppies will swim right to the whole where I drop food in every time I walk by. The thing is they eat every single morsel!

I fed them each time the first two days to get an idea of how much to feed before they stop eating...but they don't....stop....eating.....(In the two days I tried this I probably fed them 10 times a day).

All I give is a pinch of flake food and they gobble it up as soon as it hits the surface. So my question is how much is too much? I've never had fish eat like this before!
