I try to feed mine in the morning and arvo. The arvo feed is nearly always longer.
With the temps dropping off lately the amount they are taking has dropped off a lot.

Yep, you'll probably find they wont feed in the morning since the tank temps have dropped.... so feed once a day late arvo... |

Curnow, mine definitely feed better in the late afternoon and into the night. Even last night with the temp at 16ºC they were feeding well at 9:00pm |

16c?????? my tank water is sitting at between 11 and 15c.... the silvers havent eaten much at all the past few weeks... i now feed them once every three days.. reading aquamads thread..will have to consume redclaws before temps hit 10c but when they were eating... late arvo was the best for mine... |

My Water temps are still up around 19c But I have found their appetite has tapered off a fair bit. I will try them a bit later tonight.  Attachment: TempLog1.jpg [ 28.15 KiB | Viewed 3194 times ] The dip in temp at the end was when I removed the probe from fish tank  Cheers Dennis |
