I have been feeding my fancies twice a day as much as they can eat in 2-3 mins for 2 months and they do not seem to have grown much. Also my fish do not look as fat as some of the other fancy goldfish I have seen. I am wondering if I am feeding too little? One thing that is surprising though is that they are not eating any of my plants from what I have seen so far.
I usually feed about a dime sized amount of sinking hikari lionhead mini pellets. I also feed freeze dried bloodworms, occasional flakes, and hikari floating baby pellets.My 3 fish are all about 2 inches long excluding the fin. Should I be feeding them more?
My water params today:
0 ammonia
0 nitirite
~2 nitrate (somewhere between the first yellow and the second one in the API kit)
7.8 ph
It usually goes up to 5 nitrates after 3-4 days and then I do a 50% water change to bring it back down.
