Feeding

[michaelungaro]

My little platy, is very little and doesn't eat with the other fish. He usually stays at the bottom. I rarely see him at the top of the tank. How can I get him to feed?

I use the smallest sinking pellets I can find with the right ingredients for the small breed (.5, I think). So, some will get past the top feeders and get down to your little guy. Don't worry, tho, they have survival instincts and chances are he really is eating.

If he's survived this long, he's probably eating. Platys will pick at algae and food missed by the others. Among other things, I feed my platys Hikari micro-pellets, which they gobble up. Try some with your tank: a few will make their way down to him.
