I have:

2 - Goldfish (common)
4 - otocinclus Catfish (aka "oto cat" or "dwarf sucker mouth catfish")
1 - Common Pleco
Ghost shrimp
Live Plants (Aponogeton and Nymphae zenkeri Green)


I feed every other day:

-I have been feeding my Pl3co veggies.

-Flake food and wafers for the Goldfish and Oto cats. (Pl3co eats on the wafers too)

Do I need to feed em more often then every other day?

I think every other day is ok Jamz... as long as you're giving them enough on the feeding days and not overdoing it, and as long as your water parameters are stable, I'd say you're doing a perfect job at it ;)

One more thing....Before they all started enjoying the veggies...I noticed they didnt eat much of the veggies at first...now they are gone within minutes.

I wanna make sure that all my lil critters get plenty of nutrients, and protien, but at the same time dont wanna make them ill.

When does one know when its too much? :confused:

if they finish in a few minutes, or in the case of veggies an hour or two, it's not too much.
