Feeding

[IceH2O]

When feeding your fish do you turn the filter off?

Nope, i think the circulation helps spread the food around and helps each fish to get their fair share.

My cory likes that some of the food gets pushed right down to him from the fliter.

Agree with everyone above.

I intentionally put the food in the current so that it floats all over the tank. That way I know everyone is getting something.

When you have an overflow filter and floating food, turn the filter off, depends on my tank but with some tanks I turn the filter off b/c the food will get sucked into the filter.

Turning off my filter is too much work, as the cords are way behind a desk. I suppose I should, though, as it usually sends food flying all over the tank and scattered all over the gravel.

Makes for an entertaining feeding frenzy though.

On.
Besides the same reasons already stated by others, I'm so forgetful, I probably wouldn't remember to turn it back on. Remembering to plug them back in after water changes is enough.

Not to mention all the crap my filter temporarely spits back out into the water when you turn it off then on..

I turn my filters down when I feed,not off.
