starving fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I suppose I might try this as well then. What size should I start fasting at? Mine is about two inches now- should I start or give it some time? I'll probably go 2 days feed, 1 day fast- or should I go 1 day feed, 1 day fast since he gets food several times a day? (Trying to get some size on this guy.)
 
I fast my fish because it's good for them not because it makes their heads big. I don't fast freee swimming fry or anything but I'd say it's good to start fasting them at an inch. You have to remember too, overfeeding will shorten their lifespans.
 
this is off topic a little but you might think it is funny. my daughter got into my fish food and dumped a bunch in the tank while i was in another room. i had just fed them. when i came out, i looked in the tank and there was fish poo floating in the tank. the food was undigested and still floating because it wasn't digested at all.
