I get that a lot. Everytime I go near the tank,my clown fish, Japanese swallow tail angel, always swim towards me like telling me give me food. I will give them since they ask for it but they dun stop asking. End up i always overfeed them. They are big liars.

My tank is in my bedroom, and I can't move without them going mental wanting a feeding. Have been overfeeding them because I felt guilty letting them down, but no more, they're liars! :)

My fish are like that as well. As soon as I go in the room. They get excited cos they think it's feeding time . I try not to over feed them. But I want to make them happy. It's my angel fish that are the liars .

My Bettas love doing that. They know exactly where the food drops in and will swim there when ever I pass by like they're starving.

Just like my cats! Everytime I go to the kitchen, they act like I haven't fed them. They get fed 3 times a day.

Thank you! Very helpful, I am always concerned I’m not feeding my bettas enough but you actually have real information beyond “what they can consume in a few minutes”

good video. I did notice that mollies will not stop eating as long as there is food - they even look like they are about to burst, but they just keep on munching! So now once a week they are having one light day or even fasting, lol.

I’ve Definitely been guilty of over feeding in the past, less is best. Great video 👍

I love what you said at the end of the video, how many times have I fallen for that, only to find more poop & old fish food at the bottom of the fish tank.... no more, no matter how much you look at me with your excited to see me look & behaviour when I approach the fish tank, less is definitely MORE.

Lisa looks like she hasn’t aged a bit

"They're not hungry. They're liars." Perfect! I overfed in the beginning because I'm gullible and I also love to eat. My tanks are cleaner and require less frequent cleaning now that they're not eating everytime I do! Lol

Very few aquarium fish have ever starved. The opposite is the number one problem for rookie keepers.

So basically what you are saying is..."Less is Best"😜

I am in Texas and have 15 tanks. I can really appreciate the time it takes to feed that many tanks and even longer when you Video it. Would like too see a Vid of you cleaning all those tanks. Now that's some work I bet.

They are so cute swimming around with the krill in their mouths. You have a small guy in there with the arowanas that looks like he may be having a hard time getting the krill down. He may need something smaller. However, I know I'm not perfect lol and I haven't been keeping fish long so I could be wrong. Just something to check just in case. Great video and now I think I overfeed my guppies!

I know this video is old, but you guys always have the best answers. My tank has 1 Betta 10-12 (cause there hard to count) Green Neon Tetras 3 Black Neon Tetras 2 Speckled Cory Cats 2 Panda Cory Cats 3 Otos 3 Mystery Snails Everyone's getting along great (The Betta feeds the Tetra's, by biting the algae wafers when they get soft and spits it to the Tetra's 😂) but everyone eats at there own pace, and it's hard to tell if everyone is getting what they need, and advice? Like how long do I wait for the snails and oto's to eat the wafer? When do I call it and pull it out. Also when I feed them Zucchini how long should I leave it in the tank? Do I drop a sinker for each Cory or do I do like 1 for 2. I have a lot of anxiety (in general), and I want to give my fish the best that I can but I'm always worried I'm missing something. Please, and help or advice would be wonderful 💞

I liked the flash back and honesty about the video. Always appreciate y'alls tips as a newbie!

Great job! Of course, impossible to show every situation, but you gave enough examples - and showed them - so that hopefully everyone can adapt your advice to their own fish and tanks.

Great job Lisa! Very informative! Thank you for the video!!!

I am so off to watch all the older videos, as I need to absorb all the information your content is amazing, yes your a natural now, but hay everyone has to learn, so do I as new to fish keeping x Thank you, for every thing you do, just wish there was new content from KG everyday, Love from the UK x

My betta is such a glutton lol. I got sinking crab pellets for the mystery snail and tried to distract him with his own floating pellets but he dove down for the crab pellet, swallowed it whole, tried to chew it, then spat it out lol. He also tried eating snail poop because it probably looked like a worm and he spat it out and sucked it back in about 20 times before he left it alone

Thank you for this video feeding has been a complete unknown .. I have over fed for fear of under feeding. I have seen else where that feeding frozen peas can be good for cichlids also spinach what do you think about these?

At 1:38 i wanted to reach through my phone and grab that bad ass OB Cichlid for my tank. Beautiful

You haven't changed a bit from 2013 lol good video 👍👍

Lisa and her bettas are brining joy to millions

We have a BN pleco in with our community tank. Even after we feed the group (more than I should be after watching this), they still go after the food I through in for the pleco. It's in with parrots, Angel's, congo tetras, etc, and they all go after the wafers or bug bites we throw in. Any way to try to avoid that, or is it time to remove her from that tank?

Tahbk you so much for the informative video Lisa!! By the way, how are you able to make that all fish in a comunitty aquarium are fed?

So i just got a tank and single micky tailed platy fish for Christmas. Ive been told to feed him a pinch of flake food once every 2 days. Does this sound like enough? The friend who gifted me the fish said he will eat the pinch and on the second day scavenge for any uneaten food. I also keep a lot of live plants and he seem to like nipping at them as well However even tho i have a small tanks and only only one small platy, am i underfeeding him?

Awesome video Lisa love all the videos you and John do. Keep up the great work!

Very nice video Lisa. The music was a nice touch!

GREAT VIDEO great editing and great camera work John !!!!

I can't believe how small the Oscars were in this video!!! So cute!

in a large community tank, I'd recommend feeding both a sinking and a floating item at the same time, at least for one feeding a day, and add it evenly across the width of the tank. Perhaps one pinch on the left, right, and center. This is especially important if you have territorial fish in your tank who will guard "their" food source from others (Discus are notorious for this). But that way, it ensures everybody has a chance to get some food. With a bigger community tank, it's actually better to feed a bit more heavily, imo, and just ensure you clean more regularly.

@KGTropicals, can you do a video on what chemicals you use with routine water changes if you use any at all, I have started using stuff likes stress coat, or prime when I do my water changes and I wanted to know if those chemicals are necessary or not after a water change? Some people I know just use regular water with no chemicals ever and that's it, id like to know what you guys do with your water.

Fish vet made what i feel to be a valid oint when he said that the trend went from overfeeding to underfeeding our fish. I personally keep a close eye on it and feed small amounts twice a day just to try and make sure every fish gets his fill

I have snails in my community tank. Should I do anything more for them? Thanks for the info.

Lol @ your kitty "helper". Very good video. Ty.

Good video. Thank you, from Argentina. 🧓🏻👍

I have a snakehead,Oscar and a bichir in my tank they eat twice a day for the Oscar and the bichir 10 feeder fish for breakfast 15 for dinner . And for my snakehead 2 catfish a day,1 for breakfast and 1 for dinner

Thanks for another helpful video ☺️

I never heard that song you started playing when you were feeding the African cichlids but that was great lolol

simple thanks x

Thanks , good video, fan from Canada

At a certain point all aquariums are different. All my aquariums require different ways of feeding. My large Angel tank. At feeding at night they git 6 cubs if blood worms about the same amount in beef hart and bring shrimp. I make this food myself. But there is also 60 Cody’s for one hundredTetras. Plus it a very densely planted tank. It took a while to figure out how to handle that tank. It’s beautiful it’s a great dark water tank with a dirt substrate 3” deep 1” cap of gravel I’ve found this works best for me. With that said it gets a 50% water chance a week. And the bottom stays very clean and water perimeters are always good. But it took some experience to get it straight. My heavily planted dirt tanks always gave a better balance. My 10 gal Bettas tanks can go on for month without a water change. I just need to keep the them vacuumed. There is no standard for feeding. They tell you the amount the fish can clear in 5 minutes. My juvenile Mollies can consume a large can in 3 minute. Though that’s about 300 of them. Feeding is learned I over feed some tanks on purpose like my barbs. As long as your doing competent maintenance you’re good. Something I think would be a good topic would be how the grow and make your own foods. It took me a long time to figure it all years ago and that was before the internet. I save hundreds on foods. Some simple like frozen beef heart. Some harder like worms.

Very interesting, Thanks 👍.

What size( in oz) container is that krill you feed the arowanas

I find this so confusing can you clarify, i use a pinch a day, i have at times done 2 but some have died and im sure this is from overfeeding, so once decent pinch a day should be enough for 125 tank with approx 12 fish in also when using tap safe during water changes is one cup in each bucket of water enough or too much as this is also so confusing, please let me know as this is driving me crazy, thanks, lee

Question! What's the wall paper back drop you use at 5:50

Now that I think of it, anytime I have seen fish in the wild, they have been treading water or simply swimming around. They're not gorging on some food source. You are right, they're Liars. They don't need to eat every few hours, they just want to.

I feed my fish once a day. However my platies always seem to find little bits of algae and end up eating too much.

Curious about that community tank. I thought betas were supposed to be solitary but it looks breathtaking! Would love to hear more about what's in there and why it works out! Great vid thanks!

Generally female bettas can be kept with smaller schooling fish. But it doesn't always work out and you gotta do research on tank sizes and fish compatibility before hand.

I am such a sucker. I try to feed every other day (a mix of nutritious foods). I start off really restrained... then I get worried about my smaller peaceful guys as the tangs are pigs. Or I think that feeding the tangs everyday will keep them from being a nuisance to anyone. But then if I’m feeding the tangs I feel bad for the others... Last night I turned on my pump and wave maker after feeding and realized how much uneaten food was blowing around. I ended up holding a very fine mesh net in front of the wavemaker for a while and extracted more gunk than I care to admit. I might put a sign above our tank reading “The fish aren’t starving. They’re liars”.

Hi. I recently got a 6ft tank its 650 liters or 170 galons and i want to put 2 jaguar cichlid, 2 texans, 2 green terrors, 2 oscers, 2 blue acars, 2 jack dempsy and 2 fetherfin catfish. Is this to much for my tank

Loved the editing!

Hey, not sure if you'll read this or even reply. But I watch yall videos About fish and aquariums so I thought you know. I don't have any other options. My tropical fish is eating the pebbles. I put at the bottom of the aquarium and she's got a whole belly full. Is this normal?

do we have to turn off the filter when feeding the fish ?

I love your channel and must say you are adorable as heck!❤

Less is best...is true. But best is best is also true. Most is NEVER true.

I have a question for John, why would a male and female African peacock cichlid “lip lock” or “jaw lock”?

I have 5 baby red belly piranhas how many times In a day should I feed that and how much should I feed them

I'm totally guilty if it overfeeding too. I always have fry in my tank and I'm worried about them having to compete for food so I spread a lot around so they have time to eat.

When I had a hair algae problem in my tank I took the advice of an older guy who worked and my local chain lfs and had obviously been in the hobby for decades. He told me every other day was ample because after all, they don't get 3 squares meals a day in the wild. 😊 My fish are now 4 years old and looking great. And yes, I've learned fish are absolutely capable of giving you the 'stink eye' when their pleas for food go ignored. 🤣

Not only have you gotten better in front of the camera but in my opinion hotter! Not trying to be sexist or rude, just observant. Oh, and yeah my fish lie to me every day. Especially my Betta George. Every time I feed him he looks at me like he's saying "finally"!

I have Puntius bimaculatus and I was told to feed them every other day 😅 I'm wondering if that is correct as I have a small tank and I'm new to the hobby

you say to make sure all the fish get something but you don't tell us how to achieve that. I have mollies, platys & corys, how do I keep the livebearers(foodhogs) from cleaning the bottom of the tank? I always worry about the corys getting enough without overfeeding the tank.

I've always done monthly water changes. This once a week is new to me.
