Overfed!
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 futu - 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 :-) Jacqui

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. Cheryl

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