Starving Fish?
Hello everyone,
My fiance bought me a 2 gallon aquarium and 2 black mollies last weekend. I set up the tank, have an air stone going and when I put the water in I also used the dechlorine drops. I have gravel and a small hide-spot for them. To be honest, that's about all I could do. I feel sorry for the fish and I want to take care of them as best I can on my college/no job budget.
I have tropical fish flakes to feed them, and I feed them twice a day. I could tell after a day though that they were still hungry, so I slightly increased the amount that I fed them(still at twice a day). They still seem like they're very hungry for food. Yesterday, I noticed one of them attempting to eat the other's feces. Thinking how bad for their health this could be, I then decided to feed them three times a day, maybe that would work. I fed them this morning and I just now fed them again at lunchtime, and they are fighting each other for the food..
I don't want to starve the poor things, but I don't know how much I really need to feed them either. I don't want to keep increasing and then either prematurely run out of food or overfeed them.
Please help!
Thank you,
Ella
