Hi guys, quick question.
I have a 28l planted tank with a male betta, 5 harlequin rasboras and a few cherry shrimp.
Feeding my betta is simple, I open the lid, he knows its feeding time (he's a little piggy!) and waits for his floating betta pellets...
The harlies on the other hand are a bit of a nightmare. I am feeding them standard tropical flakes. With the filter on, as you can imagine in my small tank the food sinks and goes everywhere, they dont seem to notice for a while and once they do they go crazy but dont seem to get too much before it sinks to the bottom, so it makes it really difficult so see how much they have actually eaten.
I have tried turning the filter off while feeding so that the flakes stay at the top a little longer but they dont seem to notice :/
Whats the best way to keep track of what they are eating or make them come up for feeding?
Thanks guys
