THanks gohks, i will try to feed more.
btw u feed yours with bread - bread for humans or fish?
i dont think the fishbread available in LFS is nutritious and appetizing....or am i wrong?

Fish bread, they will still consume though may not be their favourite. I emphasize on varities of food so to ensure no deficiency.

Before you decide to feed more, learn how to manage your water quality first. smile.gif

Hi gohks,
Why not enough for fish kept indoor?
Pls elaborate more.

Thanks,
David Hou

goldfish kept indoor in a cycled clear water tank got no other source of food. Feeding once a day (small quantity will not be enough and big quantity will foul your water if unconsume). Your goldfish will not thrive and will soon be weaken and prone to all sort of sickness, not to mention growing hmm.gif

Hi gohks,
Thanks for your reply.
Sorry, the following question might sound stupid! But why do you think a cycled clear water tank have no other source of food?

David Hou

Yes, certainly you can do it smile.gif But those "unsightly stuff" also can be substituted laugh.gif Also whether is worth to do that just to feed once (where this topic originated) is a choice. yes.gif

Dear gohks,
Precisely! Once a day is definitely not enough, regardless in or outdoor, with or without algae. That was where I started wondering why not enough only for indoor?

ok, ok, experts...i will test my water first to see whether it's sweet, salty, sour or spicy...just joking lar....

one last qn before i'm out of here: i can't find any cheap and effective recommendation for testing kits in this forum and the wide range available in QH makes me blur blur and i managed to buy one for testing high ph but when i tried it at home, the colour always remains the same regardless how much BS i put in! weird? its like always 7 and i want to make it higher..

so can any expert just recommend me one cheap and effective testing kit for:
-high ph
-ammonia
-nitrate

Do get your concept right first.

Adding BS (Baking Soda) is to stablise the pH and increase the kH.
If you add BS, please check kH and not pH.
Anyway, using BS, the pH will never go higher than 8.8 to 9, subjected to water condition.
