Hi Friends !

My 125 Liter tank is a bit heavily loaded. I usually feed only once a day and my Fishes have been happy like this for the last 2 months. I also sometimes skip feeding for a day or 2 to reduce the Bioload.

Is this ok ? I mean will my fish starve to death if I feed like this ?

I know that this is not a permanent solution and I will surely have to remove a few of the fishes to effectively reduce the Bioload, but for the time being will this work fine ?

Kindly advice...
Regards
Kush
 
Most fish can go days and days without food and be fine. In the wild they get nowhere near as much food as in a tank. About the only fish which are not OK missing food is fairly new and very young fry.

I dont get why people say this. There is a constant supply of food for fish in lakes/oceans/rivers. You might not score a 10" fish to eat every night. But theres always bugs/crayfish etc in the water at all times. Iv never seen a aquarium fish grow faster than a fish in the lake.
