I never know if I am feeding a good amount. I am familiar with the old adage, as much as they eat in 2 minutes. However, I am not sure I'd this applies, and if I am feeding enough. Or too much???
Here is what I am currently feeding to my 8 contest fish.
1st feeding
Pellets and flake
2nd feeding
Either same as first -or-
Flake and freeze dried worms
3rd feeding
Frozen worms or live blackworms
I put a fork in the photo for reference, but I would say that the total volume of food at each feeding is about 1 tsp.
I think it will be interesting for the contestants to share notes like this, because jam sure feeding and water change schedule are the most variable strategies among contestants.
