First post on these forums! Cross posting this request on a few forums for the best advice!
This is my first time having so many fish in one tank and I am nervous on a feeding cycle and amount to allow for all to be happy and healthy as well as limit food waste. I have the following species in all levels of the aquarium.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
**Stock with current sizes if the size helps**
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1x Adult Albino Bushy/Bristlenose Pleco Ancistrus sp.
1x 5" or so Peacock Eel Macrognathus aculeatus (believe it is the lesser and not siamensis as it hasn't grown much since I got it end of March. Was listed as Thai Spiny Eel at LFS)
1x 4" Orange Spotted Liberian Eel Mastacembelus liberiensis (get big fast so will need to move in a few months from the limited data I could find on care)
9x 1-1.5" False spotted/Black fin Corydoras leucomelas
8x 1-1.5" Rummy-nose tetra Hemigrammus rhodostomus
9x 1-1.5" Marbled hatchet Carnegiella strigata
12x 1-1.5" Ornate/False Rosy tetra Hyphessobrycon bentosi
5x Adult Otocinclus
5x 1.5" Clown Loach Chromobotia macracanthus (yes I know about these eventual big boys. They can move in with the orange spotted eel when it moves too)
8x large Amano shrimp Caridina multidentata/japonica
4x Black racer nerite snails
??x MTS cause who really knows how many MTS they have!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
**Food I have on hand**
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tetramin tropical flakes
Sera o-nip tablets
Omega one super color color flakes
Omega one shrimp pellets
Omega one veggie rounds
Hikari algae wafers
Hikari sinking wafers
Hikari frozen brine shrimp
Hikari frozen bloodworms
Zucchini. I do length strips on a veggie clip suction twice a week.
Indian almond leaf (Terminalia catappa) counts as food once it starts to break down. 4 leaves in tank currently.

Thank you in advance to anyone who responds. I know this is asking for some thoughtful time and effort to respond!
