Posted	Dead Parrots
04-07-2006 13:40 by Zoe	MY husband has seriously overfed the parrot fish yesterday, woke up this morning to 2 dead ones - 8 inch ones. and very bad water, he's so careful about feeding them but when he tipped it in more fell out, he thought they'd eaten it, but obviously not ! Anyway guess who got the job of doing a massive water change, cleaning all the sponges, disposing of dead fish, and getting 3 kids ready and out of the house by 8.30 this morning !
04-07-2006 15:17 by ryanroddis	Zoe, I have done this before, Tapping the edge of the feed tub and before you know it a load drops out, Tell him to tap the food into the lid of the tub before pouring it in, that way if there is too much you can pop it back in the tub! But you live and learn as they say!
04-07-2006 15:25 by telboy	hello zoe,sorry to hear ya bad news!i think weve all done this though,i certainly have in the past!but now i dont tip i pinch!but as ryan says "ya live n learn" eh???
04-07-2006 15:30 by ryanroddis	Pinch is always the best idea, I use a mixture of pellets and flake in the morning and frozen meat based meal at night, I always put pullets and flake in the lid before i pop it in the tank!
04-07-2006 17:08 by kell	ryan do you feed that much everyday
04-07-2006 18:11 by Danny Boy	i feed via a net. this way i can also catch my fish with the greatest of ease at any time.

05-07-2006 10:42 by Zoe	good idea about the net, we'd had those parrots a couple of years so a bit gutted. might get a couple of baby ones if i can find some. Tank crystal clear now !
05-07-2006 11:26 by ryanroddis	Hi Kell... Yeh i do feed twice a day, But i do have large fish! I dont put huge amounts in dont get me wrong but i put as much in as the fish can eat within a couple of mins and then 1 frozen block per night!
09-07-2006 07:56 by Penny1	Hi Ryan i feed my fish in exactly the same way, as we have some large fish and alot of them, i mix flake and pellets in the morning, and then at night we give our a couple of blocks of frozen food, i justfeed them as much as they can eat within a couple of minutes.
11-07-2006 00:07 by clownloachlady	when i go away on holiday and i ask people to feed my fish i give them a teaspoon. ive got a few very small teaspoon i give them to use to feed the fish and the amount is spot on each time.
