Forreals. That was me before. Dump in a bunch of food. IF they don't eat fast enough, the aros, gars, knifefish,datnoid come in and swoop the food. They learn after a few days. I used to be consistent with feeding at the same time of the day so whenever I turn off the main lights. bichirs would know its feeding time and they start swimming around in search for food before I even drop the food.
Lap picks up fast...gets the feed me shimmy when he sees the tongs
