hello all, found this group, only been on here a few times. and decided to join. it reminded me of the forums i used to spend a lot of time in before FB came along and turned most forums into ghosttowns. aquaria central, planted tank, simply discus come to mind. i found those to be superior in members and organizing info. but social media seemed to take over.i've always done fresh, finally trying salt.

Similar threads

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
