BTW, do you have a filter?. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

I have noticed that they will cloud the water slightly, that is until they have been completely eaten, mainly its while the fish are stirring around them. The cloudiness does disappear quite quickly, but remember not to overfeed or you will have problems. Cheers Crusha   |

keithgh   *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003  | All foods will cloud the water if over feeeding regardless of water changes. Feed the minium at first then increase the amount as required. As the fish get older and larger they naturally will eat more. I would not use them every day rotate them with other foods. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

chelaine Big Fish Posts: 383 Kudos: 343 Votes: 78 Registered: 23-Jul-2005 | i use Wardley Shrimp pellets, and i have not found any problems with clouding the water, but i have however had problems with the pellets breaking up so small that the cories can't get to the food in the gravel. *Chelle* I love the fishes cuz they're SOOO delicious... |
