Proper food question (renamed)
So I have 6 small neon tetras (1") and 5 kuhli (7cm/2.5").
I have been feeding a mini pinch of flakes 1-2x/day for the neons, and breaking up an algae wafer for the kuhlis. I can't find any food after so I figured that was about right. However I have multi-coloured rocks as my substrate so it camouflages pretty well.
Just yesterday I notices a piece of algae wafer with a 1/2" of guck floating around the tank. So I got my net and removed it, as well as another I saw. This morning I found another couple. I wil do a thorough cleaning and PWC.
Obviously I'm feeding too much... I'm just worried that they won't find the wafer pieces.
Do you think 1/2 a wafer is enough? How do I know if it's not enough? Should I not be breaking it up?
Is the guck around the wafer harmful? Do I need to treat the tank, or should a thorough cleaning be enough?
