Jaymie's Perfectly Sized System & the Fantastic Fish

umm, death? there doesn't seem to be any obvious causes for the deaths.

We have been feeding crushed 10mm pellets lately, simply because we could not get anything else. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to get smaller pellets again. Can fish choke on bigger pieces? It was mostly the 12month old fish (about 20cm long) that were doing the dying.

In a word yes they can choke when the pellets are dry they are smaller than wet put a couple of pellets on water and see how big they get

since the tank clean out, we have been extra careful with crushing the fish food, and putting it through a screen to make sure it is small enough. things are good so far
