Aquarium Advice Addict
So, I've always been one to over feed my tanks. I've always made up for it with extra water changes, once every 4-5 days rather than every 7-8 like a normal aquarist would do.
I've kept gravel as substrate for all my life up until a few months ago so I never really noticed any major nastyness on the substrate except during gravel vacc'ing. BUT, now that I've switched to sand, it's getting to be an eye sore.
I've been trying to cut back my feeding for the past few weeks, but I always feel bad because some of my fish are slower than the rest to come eat and I feel like they aren't getting in a good meal.
Basically, it's going on in the tanks that I use multiple types of food in. I.e. one tank "needs" both betta pellets, tropical flakes, algea wafers/veggies, and bottom feeder pellets.
What can/should I do? What is the "correct" amount to feed them, and how often should I feed
