Just wondering how much i should be feeding these Buggers

10 Rainbows, Range 7Inch - 11 Inches

Using 4mm BYAP Pellets

approx 650l of GB

iv been throwin in a Tablespoon full they wont eat while im there but they are starting to get used of me.

Just put a mesh cover over so i can leave my Small Lid Section open for them, i think they become used of the dark, they dont like the light cos they all run away when i open it.

they had a good feed of comets yesterday :D

You should be feeding about 1-1.5% of biomas... number of fish x ave weight....

Its handy to have a measure. Mine is a 90mm pvc end cap and a single layer of 6mm pellets in this is 20g. I reckon you would have 2000 - 2400g of total fish weight so 1% is 20-24g
I would try 20g/day in two feeds and check ammonia
