The two biggest things I took away from this channel is one, dealing with water changes and two feeding. Advice from father fish on just these two topics has totally changed my fish keeping experience. I have a heavily planted 90 gallon community tank and it is absolutely thriving I feed about three times a week and I have just stopped doing regular weekly water changes for the sake of changing water. I figured I'm going to stop doing regular water changes and start testing the water and will only change water if I have to. well it's been over a month now and the water quality is not changing, it's remaining the same as when I started. The tank is just over a year old now and I have to do very little to maintain it, it's as if the tank is almost taking care of itself. When it comes to maintaining my tank the best thing I ever did was listen to advice from father fish and I think it would serve other fish keepers out there well to do the same. Happy fish keeping everyone, Cheers! P.S. If your stressing out over your aquarium then I would advise you to start watching Father Fish's videos. He has provided the answers your looking for and it's free advice to boot. A big Thank You goes out to Father Fish for sharing his wealth of experience, it has been of great value to me and has made me a far better fish keeper and helped me find success in this hobby. And that my friends is my two cents worth.

[@FatherFish]

Well that is worth many bucks kosys. Thank you for the encouragement.

[@wojtekross4654]

i'm trying to feed my fish every two days, with small portions once that day. And in my opinion they are looking good. Thank you Father Fish :)

Excellent Wojtek

[@Firebird894]

All I use to feed tiny baby fish is this and it costs nothing and takes almost no effort and has no risk of fowling the water. I keep buckets and tubs outside under the trees and grow moss and algae in them. I Keep a screen over to keep out bigger bugs dragonflies etc and I just put leaves bark and sticks in it. I throw a little grass clippings in now and then and a little bit of flake food but thats not needed I found it gets it going faster. When I have eggs when I am getting fish ready to breed or I have fry I take a clump of moss out of the tub algae and leaves and all stuck to it and throw it straight in the tank with a little bit of mud. Thats it once every week or 2 I put in a bit more or swap it out it has everything growing in it those babies need when they are first hatched for quite a while till they can eat bigger food. That is all I do and it grows them perfectly with no water changes hardly at all. I just have tubs with baby fish and eggs I do that and I start seeing fry in there and they grow and it takes little effort from me. When they look big enough I start giving them some 55% protien powdered up pellets and brine shrimp but I still do the moss from outside even for the breeders because they know it has food in it the babies can eat. It is that easy.

[@FatherFish]

Absolutely brilliant. This is excellent production. Nature is feeding your babies.

Hello, how are you, I built an aquarium with your method and there are plants in it. I have about 30 fish and before I was very worried about high nitrates. I tested Nitrate one day and to my surprise it was almost in the 0-5 ppm range. For plants' need for NO3, I feed them 3 times a day and I decided not to change the water, I give additional potassium and iron fertilizers. Surprisingly, everything is going well.

[@Benny777Bzh]

[@mauricematla8379]

Nice video ff. Perhaps you could make a series out of it on how too cultivate different foods. Besides live foods it is i think worth mentioning that some fish need a good bit of algea and/or plant in their diets wich sometimes can be difficult for them to get from the aquarium itself or could be less then desireable. And a few will need to take in some wood.

[@FatherFish]

Excellent Maurice. These are not uncommon diets at all and are critical for popular species.

[@mauricematla8379]

You are very welcome Drine.

[@WhiteCloudDynasty]

Correct! I feel the same way. I feed mainly one quality food and control the protein and fat by how much they get daily. Off non breeding season I feed alot less

[@FatherFish]

That is sensible.

[@AMNitrates]

Father Fish is correct when he says variety in food is not always a good thing. I found that when I fed my Oscars a variety of foods they would only eat their preferred food and leave the others alone. Nowadays I feed 1 staple food, 1 type of shrimp treat twice a week, and then frozen food once a week.

[@titiasplantedaquariums]

When I do watch a video, I find it informative but also very calming🥰 Your voice sounds pretty soothing with your new equipement👍🏻 Definitely want to improve my tank with live foods and a natural start up with wet leaves and micro organisms from a body of water. I'm regurly eyeing some big mason jars with sealed lids at my volunteering job. But I can't do much without a big net with long handle, ideally it would have a fine graded net. What kind of food culture would be good to start with for my ember tetra?

[@FatherFish]

daphnia and paramecium

[@brianincaledon]

Great information, thanks. You mention live food as being good source of protein. What are your thoughts on frozen foods? Such as frozen brine shrimp, blood worms, krill, mysis shrimp etc.

Frozen is second best.

Hello Father Fish. I’m thankful that I found your KZbin channel. Someone in a Fb group, cheered your video about water quality. That you can use vitamin-c in your tap water. We have chlorine in our tap water. I have a 450 Liter aquarium and I change 200 Liter of water every week. I think that I over feeding my fish. They are always hungry, and I don’t want them die. I feed them every morning and evening. In the morning with dry food, and in the evening with frozen food. After this video I must change my food routine. That explains why my filters are so dirty too. Thanks one more time for a excellent video. Daniel from Sweden 🇸🇪😊🙏

[@FatherFish]

Daniel, Feed your fish once every other day. Cut back on the amount and you will find they are more active, healthier, and your tank cleaner.

[@danielgroth3070]

@@FatherFish Thanks for your answer. I will do that, an only charge 25% of the water. I have just looked at an previously video from you.

Father fish, a bit off topic but i have an outdoor eco system pond 5,000 litres with rocks, gravel and lots of plants. I used to feed the fish every other day but have started to feed them every day in the summer months and stop feeding altogether in the cold winter. I have goldfishes 12 - 14" (biggest ive ever seen), golden orfe/ide 12" and some tench and no koi. What would you suggest on the feeding pattern father fish?

good. Do not overfeed. That can cause horrible problems if it rots in the tank.

[@speckledjim_]

It's so easy to produce cultures of loads of different types of worms etc. Just watch how a fish attacks a wriggling worm and compare how lazily it goes for flake. And....if you feed them aquatic organisms....there's no waste to mess up your tank!

My goldfish became way more active since i increased my biodiversity. They like hunting stuff believe it or not. My goldfish are absolute units, i only feed once every 4 days now, they eat off of the moss and microorganisms daily though. You should join the discord if you haven't already.

[@ismailroyer466]

Father Fish, thank you for this extremely important and enlightening video. I’ve got a 29 gallon planted deep substrate tank (with lots of leaf litter) with 2 young silver dollars, a young spiny eel, 2 red claw crabs and an African clawed frog. Yesterday as an experiment I dropped in about 2 dozen live worms (primarily in attempt to get their help in improving the substrate). The frog has so far eaten a few, the crabs chopped up a few and ate them, and the eel and silver dollars have been vigorously nibbling on them. Probably only one or two worms actually got into the substrate. The result is that I have about a dozen dead earthworms, some in segments, strewn across the bottom of the tank. The fish are continuing to snack on them. Clearly the experiment was a failure but should I immediately get these deceased worms out of the tank? Or should I let the fish continue to snack on them and let them decompose into the substrate? Am I risking overfeeding and also causing an ammonia spike with their decomposition and extra animal waste?

[@FatherFish]

Push most of them into the substrate. Leave one or two for nibbling. When you feed worms cut them into bite size pieces so that the entire piece is swallowed.

[@ismailroyer466]

@@FatherFish Thank you so much. God bless you!

[@TheBlueBrenana]

Do you recommend this same feeding frequency for a full grown Oscar with tank mates?

[@FatherFish]

Large fish only require food once a week or less. Their stored fats and slow metabolism allows them to eat occasionally and thrive. During breeding season the food increases and they build breeding material and put on fat.

Used to be very diligent in changing water, adding chemicals into the water and feeding them but my tank ended up as a graveyard 😢 then before i gave up this hobby, i noticed my smaller tank which i have been ignoring it not only thrive so well, the plants and the fishes in it were doing so well! So, less is actually more 😊

[@babysheryl1310]

Fyi, I've not changed water for more than a year and my tank is doing so well!

[@FatherFish]

excellent observation.

My friend has tank with gravel and plastic plants. She keeps guppies. She feed them just simple food from the shop. And she gets babies. And they survive without special food. Does it depends on the fish ? Can babies survive with dry pallets from shop?

[@FatherFish]

Fish are very sturdy creatures able to survive under difficult circumstances sucha s gravel and plastic plants with cheap food.

father fish how do i feed my axolotls? there is a lot of food leftovers if it is daphnia shrimp can't cope with cleaning))) thank you very much

[@FatherFish]

take them out and feed them in a separate feeding container. When they poop put them back in their tank.

I feed on Wed & Sunday. 🐠 Great video

That is awesome Bacon!

i feed my tropical fishes 3 time a week. For goldfish just 2 time a week. It is just perfect for them. They grow slowy as they grow naturally and live more longer.

[@FatherFish]

Absolutely Melissa.

How often should you feed African Cichlids? I'm always afraid if I don't feed in time, that they will eat each other.

[@FatherFish]

There are many kinds of African cichlids. I{ am guessing you are talking about Malawi cichlids. Feed bug bites and let algae grow in the tank. They eat both voraciously.
