Matthew Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 G'day I add the vegies just before lights out. If you feed them after lights out it tends to really spook the fish and I don't like to have them bashing into the sides of the tank. The vegies are good for the cichlids as well. PS. Zucchini, pumpkin, sweet potato as well as lebanese cucumber can be fed to your whiskered ones. cya Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason250 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I had the same problem. When i drop in some wafers the Cichlids would pick them up and chase each other around the tank. Now i feed them in the morning when it is still dark and the others are still asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
