In Reply to: sooo, like 1 cube a day? every other day? n/p posted by jennewt on May 09, 2003 at 09:50:13:

::::I feed my 2 FBN twice a week or so per all the sites and posts. Sometimes the next day they relax and lie around like they have had a goooood meal. But recently (this week) they both have been swimming around the bottom acting like they are searching for food and havn't eaten in months...whatever...I fed them Friday, then I fed them on Tues..then this morning again because they were swimming up to the front of the glass (usually they only do this at dinertime). Am I not feeding my little pumpkins enough. I would feel sooooo bad. Should I feed them more often? Oh yeah, I give them 1 cube of frozen whatever (bld wrms or beefheart or tub-fx wrms) at a feeding. Is this enough?

:::During warm weather, they need to eat more. So, yes, feed them more. Also, do everything possible to decrease the temp.

:As much as they will eat within 10-15 minutes. Remove any leftovers. Try every other day and that should be enough. For suggestions on cooling the tank, see:
