Feeding Regime

[lyh]

Hi all I would like to hear from you your feeding regime and what are the effects of a change in your usual regime. Currently, my regime is to feed on alternate days and let the plec starve 2 days per week to clear their tummy. I am experimenting with feeding them daily to see if there are any differences in their behaviour or appearance. :D By the way I'm keeping panaques only hence the result of my experiment is from them only :o :D

Pseuda keepers do contribute too :D

I also feed daily, once into regime allows me to manipulate them for things like photo taking. Keeping mine with catfishes, they take care of left overs...:p

Bro have you tried feeding otherwise, like maybe alternate days or lesser amount per feeding?

Bro care to share what you meant by manipulating them for photo taking? Mine will come to the front when they see me going near so it's quite easy for photo taking but after awhile when they cannot find food, they will know that I'm not there to feed :D

Aiyah! then must feed mah. Then they stay around for you to do your stuff but I do alternate once in a while like don't feed for 1 0r 2 days. Then every time i come to the tank they will all gather for photo taking session.:D 1 disadvantage though, my tank 4x1.5x1.5 on ehiem 2028 and 2215 but also cannot tahan, filter gotta service like 2-3 month if not choke.

Bro I just noticed one thing recently that is if I feed them daily, they chew on DW lesser and thus got lesser DW bits and there seems to be less poo as well (maybe it has disintegrated). This might be because when DW is ingested, it comes out whole thus making it more visible. :D
