To Crush or Not to Crush... That is the question.
I've got 4 Corys that I have been feeding Tetra's Variety Wafers to. I've been using a Hammer to Crush the wafers so that the Corys can get em in thier mouths. This seems to be working great! My 2 Otos even go down there where the stuff settles and pick at the crushed bits. My question is do I need to be crushing these or will they (Corys and Otos) be able to eat them if I put em in there whole? Seems like they wouldn't be able to "chew" on them...
Reason I ask is that I added 2 Platinum Mollies (man these guys poop a lot) a couple of days ago and they are eating everything that they can fit into thier mouths, including the crushed bits of the wafers for the Corys.
Bonus Question - How much more stock should I be able to add? The tank is a 29G with some Driftwood and 4 low light plants.
Current Stock is:
3x Green Fire Tetras
2x Otocinclus Cats
4x Cory Cats
2x Platinum Mollies
Water is at:
Ammonia 0
NitrIte: 0
NitrAte: 5 - 10
Thanks everyone!
