    How much food, and getting it to the less agressive ones?

    Actually it's two Dwarf Rainbows. I was told they are No. 0, meaning a very short body (shortest). They are very docile but have very "cute" personalities, always hanging out together, swimming side by side. I think I will start feeding every other day and see how it goes. The problem is it...

    water movement

    I'm very new but what I've found is that my canister filter generally has air that gets trapped inside. I give the canister a light tilt/bump and the air gets dislodged and shoots out the diffuser in tiny bubbles. I suppose the bubbles want to rise but do get a good idea of the water flow.
