How much to feed fish?

Posted on May 13, 2012 by admin| 6 Comments

Hey, I had just bought some fish from Marineland and the guy there had suggested some foods for them and told me to only feed them just a couple pelets, flakes or 1 algea disk. He didnt say how often and I have no idea :( . The foods that I have are as follows.

1) Wardly Spirulina Discs — http://www.petco.com/Shop/Product.aspx?familyid=4238&Ntt=Spirulina%20Discs&OneResultRedirect=1
2) Wardly Shrimp Pellets — http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00026Z444
3)Omega One Freshwater Flakes — http://omegasea.net/freshwater_flakes.html

On each of them it says to feed Three times daily. I was thinking one of each once a day to give them a variety of diet? He stressed very much not to over feed them and its really the last thing I wanna do. I want them to be as healthy as they can be :) Thank you for any responses.
I forgot to add how many fish. I have 1 Emperor Pleco. 1 Bala Shard 1 Red Fin Shark 1 Albino Rainbow Shark and 5 Pictus Catfish :)

Why is that when you order fried shrimp they always give you saltine crackers???

Theres a couple of fish houses that we frequent in Chicago, we were at one late last night and someone in our group asked about the crackers. I’ve always wondered as well, so I said I’d ask here.

I was wondering how many crayfish should be in a 20 gallon long? Its 32 inches long. Also, how many ghost shrimp should be in a 30 gallon long? Is there ANYTHING that can go with crayfish that they wont try to kill? thanks!

do mountain shrimps hide in a tropical fish tank and do they eat much?

Posted on September 12, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

we have just bought 2 shrimps the other week and only seen one of them. The other one tends to stay on top of the pump. Do they eat much too. I have asked a couple of questions lately about these as I havent got a clue about them and still learning so would appreciate any answers. Thankyou .I have checked a couple of web sites out and they dont really give you a lot of info about the shrimps I have.
I didnt read about them because we never thought we would buy them until we seen them in our local pet store and we asked about them and said they were ok to put into tropical tank. We thought it would finish our tank off nicely. And it does its just now I am learning about them .
SO THANKS FOR YOU OPINION
They are mountain shrimp not ghost shrimp (just for reference) thanx

what is the best thing to do for a beginner fish owner?

Posted on June 27, 2011 by admin| 5 Comments

hey everybody. just got a 10 gallon fish tank a couple weeks ago. i have 5 different types of community fishes. 2 shrimps and 1 bottom feeder. i’m sorry i don’t know their scientific names. anyway i have a heater, and a whisper filter. i clean the tank almost every week which is a pain in the ass because i’m a working student. i wanted to know what else i can do to keep them cleaner. i’ve fed them less than i did at first. i totally clean the whole tank. i took out most of my granite just coz it’s so hard to clean them as well. i have a real shrimp bamboo, 1 fake short plant and 2 coliseum ruins as decor. they’re real tiny though. i’m thinking of getting one of those auto feeders coz i’ll be on leave for more than a week. i’m not sure which is best. can you guys advice what else can i do? and what else my tank needs? thanks so much!
