Hello friends,
I was reading an article relating to discus breeding and there was a concern I had about uneaten food and when to clean it out. I have not seen a post regarding this topic so if it is a repeatable question, forgive me.
I personally feed my pairs freeze-dried black-worms in the morning, come home from work and I will remove any uneaten food floating on the top. When I feed in the evening, usually frozen bloodworm's or beef-heart, I will try and clean that out before lights out.
What I was reading is to do it when you do a water change, but if you are only doing WC's every other day, then thats a long time for food to sit and create unwanted bacteria.
What are some of your methods and comments?
