I have a 12-gal. aquarium, two platys, two cories, and two clown loaches. I got the loaches to help with the snails and a nasty gammarus infestation. They couldn't eat all the gammarus so I had to clean out the tank & start all over. Now I remember how much I hate cycling.
Since all the tiny undesirable critters are gone, I'm wondering if my loaches have enough to eat. I rarely see them but tonight they're out. They've been out since I got home, digging at the gravel. (I'm also afraid my substrate is too big for them to be able to do any decent foraging.)
How can I tell if my fishes, especially my clown loaches, are underfed? I'm afraid of overfeeding but don't want them hungry.
Oh--and why would one of my cories be fat? Like it swallowed a marble....
