Feeding chopped fish?

[jaws7777]

I like feeding with the lights off because i still have quite a few rather larger rainbowfish from the previous tank setup that are super aggressive feeders. theyll eat everything and push everyone else out of the way if the lights are on. as they continue to die off ill switch to lights on feedings. even "lights off" for me is still really good visibility. the led fixture has a really cool "cloudy" nightmode that is blue with a rolling cloud effect and i have a couple of custom settings ive made of dimmed reddish/green light to give a faded sunset look

Sounds cool i feel your pain if i feed pellets the pearsei will gorge himself unless i use the blie settings on the lights. Foe some reason it paralyzes him lmaoo

J jaws7777 hard to get the camera to focus in the moonlights especially on fish that shimmer as much as rainbows but here they are "hovering" they all line up across the open water section of the tank about 6" below the surface and sit there all night. Plus a pic of one of my older turq males because you don't see big rainbows that often and this shows why they camera won't focus on them in the blue light lol

I wonder what it is with the blue light. Might be mean but i find it hysterical when my guy does it.

none of my other fish do it. the balas go hide in the plants and i assume they just sleep. the monsters all come out to play and the rainbows lose their minds and start hovering
