Hi Peter,

The pellet size is quite tiny, here is a photo I took of one pellet:

I fed my fantail 8 pellets and he ate them within 2 minutes.

Would you say from the size of that pellet, that 8 is just about right,
or too much?

Red.


They are quite small. I'd feed about 4 or 5 twice a day.
Do they expand when they are wet?

Hi Geezer Freezer,

Nope the pellets do not expand when wet.

Okay I'll feed 5 in the morning, and 5 in the evening.

or 10 in the evening? would the fish be more hungry?

Red.

I think 5 morning and 5 evening is sufficient. It's better feeding that
way than 10 in the evening, less waste, and won't bloat the little fishy
