It also helps to have fast growing plants. I have hornwort, it sucks up nutrients that the algae can't have.

I got control of algae by removing it by hand, some extra water and changes and some amano shrimp.

If you're concerned about food sitting around too long, put it in the freezer and thaw small amounts every week or so.

I bought one of these. It worked ok with small pellets. I usually let the fish go without but was gone on two 9 day trips with only a week between.

Could you put a board under the tank so you could access it by sliding it out from under the cabnit? Probly scratch the counter top.

Thanks, sounds like it's not a good idea.

Hey I've got some hornwort growing in a tub in the yard. I'd like to know if it's safe to use since there is some treated lumber in the tub and some black walnut leaves as well. Is it safe to use in an aquarium with fish, shrimp, and snails?

what didn't you like about them?

That's usually what I do but one of my two trained feeding friends left town and I have two trip pretty close together. I think I'll try a feeder since I have a little time.

If I find any I'll send you the info. Don't ship to the US Rondomatik 400 1 pc

Anybody know about any good auto feeders? Nobody seems to like them but I'm gonna be gone a lot in the fall and am having trouble lining up anyone to stop by while I'm gone. I'm going to be gone 10 days and then 9 with only 2 weeks between trips, so I don't want to leave them alone.

Never had one but these are cool looking fish Paradise Gourami Fish Care - Macropodus opercularis

How long does it last? Do you freeze it?

What do you feed it? How often and how much water do you change? Do you have a filter and a heater?

Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to my question. It could be that this tank has at long last become stable, so for now I'll be patent and see what happens with the 5 gouramis before I ad anything. In the meantime, I'll get a few more loaches and rasboras.
