Aquarium Advice Newbie
I recently had a friend give me his very nice 55 gallon freshwater aquarium and i bought a barb fish, the other fish in the tank are angle fish, rainbow "shark" bala "shark" and everytime i feed them flakes etc the barb just goes to town and eats everything, i had a fish die a week ago and i had the water tested at two different places and they said it was good, i am worried though that it might have died from starvation because the flakes don't even get to the gravel cause the barb just eats like crazy, is this a concern? how do i tell if a fish is not getting much to eat? how do i make sure the others get some, i sit there and watch and they eat a little but everytime i go and look in the top they all come up to feed and seeminly want food. I am not a fish kinda guy but i love all pets and take care of them best i can. also i was told you can't put any thing metal at all in the tank, is this true?
