G'day all,

I recently got a 30cm red SN and is doing great in my tank. However, being new to the game, I'm not too sure how much to feed her? I was told around 4 feeder kois/goldfish a day...they seem to go down a treat however, she still seems hungry, and i'm not sure when to stop...on the one hand I don't wanna overfeed while on the other, I really do not want to underfeed as I also have a some other fish in there as well!

What are your feeding regimes and what do they consist of to enure that the fish sustains an typical healthy growth rate???

Any help or experiences shared would be greatly apreciated.

PS - I've heard that redliners do not get along well with other fish and I do have a Leicharti and PLeco in there as well .....however, I;m a big fan of, "If ya don't try, you'll never know!"

To tell you the truth, No.

I haven't had her for too long, and the person I got her from told me they just fed it 4 feeders a
day. For a 30cm fish, I'm not sure if that's too much or too little?

Whaddya reckon? Keep it on feeders or vary diet a little -

Also how big was urs when you first got her? Considering your SN is so freaking huge, you must be doing something right!

Thanks for the help.

Ray, do you feed your SN just feeders, or do you feed other stuff as well?

feeding it when it gets agressive towards people.. thats an odd way of measuring when your fish is hungry
