Feeding Question?

[brian7]

55 gallon.
6 guppies
5 danios
6 tiger barbs
2 angel fish
1 rainbow shark
1 clown pleco

I was just wondering how often to feed frozen bloodworms to my tank? Once a week? The reason i ask is because i do not see my rainbow shark eat very often, which from what i read, seems normal. I know they eat algea and food at bottom. also how many times should i feed algea waffers? It alway seems like my other fish attack it and the pleco and shark dont get much of anything.

Opinions and advice appreciated! thanks

A couple times a week is fine for the bloodworms More importantly is making sure your Pleco is getting enough to eat. A cheap easy solution is Zuchinni slices or cucumber slices with the seeds removed. Slice the veggies about 1/8 to 1/4 thick attach them to a small flat rock with a rubber band and place them in the bottom of your tank. The pleco will eat most of it in one night. Put them in at lights out, the pleco is nocturnal and will feed at night without any competition from the other fish.
