That's a lot of feeding on tilapia. Does tilapia mess up your water? I tried feeding two strips of tilapia a week. It kind of pisses me off the clown loaches are so fast at hoarding the food.
no no clouding what i have hear not sure if its true but when feeding smelt shrimp or tilapia if you soak it in cold water for a couple mins before feeding the particles that make the water cloudy soak out so when you put it in it will not cloud. now i only soak it because i have to thaw it out from being frozen but i never experience cloudy water.
I diced them up then put into ice cube tray to freeze them up. That way I serve a few cubes a week. I don't have cloudy water but I noticed small piece of tilapia get caught in the filter intake. I am going to start feeding them tilapia to see if it can grow faster. You must have time to do WC every 3-4 days.
