Anybody know where Chromies put all that food??...geez they eat like crazy!!!...also, how much food is too much?...my clowns will eat until they throw up...maybe I am feeding too much. I like them fat and happy...how are you guys feeding??
 
Usually the rule of thumb is "the food should be all eaten in 1-2 minutes", but since you have pigs that might not help you, lol. I wouldn't feed too much, cause what goes in must come out...in the form of poop. You don't want the parameters to go crazy from that. I would suggest just a reasonable amount, depending on your water volume.

Hope this helps,
Brad
 
Thanks Brad...I have always struggled with over feeding...when they come to the glass and look at me, I just can't hep it...yes, the green chromis will eat everything before any other fish can get to it.
