gpodge Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hi Guys, I have a tank of Africans and a tank of Americans, The Africans I have been feeding NLS and the Americans I have been feeding Hikari. The Africans poop all the time, I mean ALL THE TIME... I no sooner do a gravel vacuum and there's crap everywhere. Anyway I ran out of NLS and fed them Hikari.... well I couldn't believe the difference, it's like they had a butt plug inserted and no longer need to poop.... so much cleaner!! So my question is, has anybody else experienced this? and is it ok for the fish? cheer Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpodge Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Only enough for them to absolutely destroy within a minute or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicole1313 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Techden pellets = minimal waste + noticeably increased growth. Just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Only enough for them to absolutely destroy within a minute or so? Seems about right. Which hikari did you buy? The sinking? I'd consider spectrum twice as concentrated as sinking hikari, and 4 times as concentrated as the floating. Either way I am a big fan of giving my fish something different everynow and again. It stops them getting too fussy lol Its been too long between pictures btw! curious to see how the haps are turning out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tech Den Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Be interesting to see what happens if you feed the Americans NLS and see if you get the same result? That is the first I have heard that one a poop scale..lol Normally its how much protein and so on. Wonder if it changes over a few weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
