What And How Much To Feed

Tesla
  • #1
I have the following stocking so far in my lightly planted 75 gallon tank that completed fishless cycle a week back - All fishes are juvenile
A. 4 Albino Corys (about 1.5" size)
B 4 Pearl Gouramis (about 2-2.5" size)
C 12 Serpae Tetra (about 1-1.5" size)
D 4 Amano shrimp - I think I have them as I only see 1 shrimp once in a while
E 2 German Blue Rams (about 1.5" size)

I am planning of adding below fishes after a week or 2 once I am sure I have a stable setup,
F 4 more Albino Corys
G 6 BoesemanI / Turqoise / Iranian Red rainbowfish - depending on the color and availability

I am feeding my fishes a pinch of flakes twice a day and 3 sinking shrimp pellets in the night. I just got some frozen shrimp that I will start feeding once a week. Can you please help me out on how much food to feed, what to feed and frequency? I do not have much information on food so any tips and details will be a great help.

Your feeding is not the problem here. you added all these fish at once... what are your parameters?

Your tank will crash you've added way too many fish.

Lol, the tank is not going to crash - params look good. That's a light bioload for a 75g.

I would feed cichlid biogold sinking pellets to the rams, some type of shrimp pellet to the corydoras, and a tropical flake for the tetras.

I was cycling with 4ppm ammonia per day so technically can push it to a full load without too much worry of crash. Also, all the fishes are juveniles so bio load isn’t that bad.
Thanks for the food advice, how much would you recommend feeding per day?

4-5 cichlid pellets, 4-5 shrimp pellets, and a small pinch of flake.

I have only 2 rams, isn’t that a lot? Or was cichlid pellet was for gourami? This is once a day? Newbie questions

No. Get the baby size biogold cichlid pellets.
