Hey Everyone!

I was been working with my mandarin for spotlight feeding to supplement fresh live bbs. I’m having to leave the pumps off for hours but keeping the heater on. The current from the filter is too strong for the bbs to not get sucked into the filter. Is there a better way to do this without leaving the pumps off for hours while he feeds? Maybe add an air stone to keep the oxygen flowing? I don’t want to kill off the biological life in there from not circulating. I’m getting ready to harvest the copepods that took off in my culture tank so he’s definitely getting food both ways. He’s picked up on this pretty easily and I have added some pods as I harvest the bbs.
