what are your water readings? (ph, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and temp)

or are you going the "wing it" route? (i've been seeing lots of these lately.. not sure why)

If you have established plants start feeding regularly now.

I fed them all they could eat in 5 minutes twice a day. Small amounts more often is better than throwing alot in and have some of it get sucked into the system......

A week in re-evaluate based on common sense and your levels.
