Overfed!

[axemanchris]

My 2 1/2 year old loves to feed our fish. Usually this takes place under
close supervison. Today, she grabbed a chair, reached the fish food &
proceeded to give her "fishies" a big toddler handful of flake food. "Look
Mommy, the fishies are happy!" she informs me with a big smile. And yes,
Percy, My Daddy and Black looked like they couldn't believe their fishy
luck.

I have discovered it is nigh on impossible to net out a handful of flake
food. My future: - massive water changes daily for the next week until all
the excess is gone. Oh well, the little monster likes to help with that too
:-)

You should definitely look into buying a Python No-Spill
syphon. (http://www.pythonproducts.com) Believe me,
you need one!

Been there, survived that one! Except it was sinking pellets and I had just
done the water change that AM and was out of water. ( I buy soft, spring
water, my well is just too hard for the fish.) Siphon, strain, put it back
in, repeat.

get sinking pellets rather than those flakes. they have little nutrition and mostly
fillers that foul the tank. Ingrid

Check the ingredient source book, it's in paperback now, about $80, $279
hardcover.
It's protein that fouls tanks, but the one who calls herself doctor still
ignores the facts.
BTW, Hikari came out with flakes recently.
