Thank you for sharing the link. I wonder why he said the opposite. When my water settles I am going to get one of those.

So that bullying is going to stop eventually? Isn’t all that chasing & poking stressful for other fishes.

I know I have been bombarding you with questions but here is a silly question. How do I know how much to feed the fishes. On the food jar it says feed enough that they can consume in 3 minutes. How much is enough? I feed them once a day & its around 1- 1 1/2 tablespoon.

They do seem to swim up top in hopes of more food perhaps so I add that other 1/2 tablespoon. Also I have noticed them sniff or swallow the food & spit it out & look for other food & then they’ll eat the next one without spitting. What’s that about?

You need to feed them twice a day enough for them to eat in 3/4 minutes. The swallow and spit happens quite often, either because they didnt like the particular flake they are eating or the flake was too big for them., Nothing to worry about.
