When my silver was smaller I used to feed him crickets during water changes. It got to the point that he got exciting when I started doing the waterchange.

i think its better not to feed on wc days.

Here's an answer, I feed my rocket gars a few minutes before I do water changes, because then their belly's are full and they don't care what I do. If they're hungry they freak out and hit the glass and try to jump out. I don't know if it's the right thing to do, but in my case it makes the process far less stressful on the fish.

for me if i clean in the morning afeed my jar in the afternoon aroung 5-6 pm same if im gonna do WC in the morning i feed em 5-6am or sometimes i dont feed em at all during WC day sometimes is better to fast your fish once every one week!!!

this is also what i do, still if you do feed there will be no problem... fish will just eat less if it's after, and maybe digest a bit slower if it's before, but it won't kill them...
