    well i don't know though, i've been feeding them with frozen blood worm and micro pellet. i will feed them micro pellet in the morning and frozen blood worm + micro pellet in the night. so far it's been eating well and swimming around.

    Surely the fish will be over fed with protein,the excess being passed through the fish into the tank,hence the old advice of feed the fish, not the tank,thats what I think,

    Tetras tend to overeat, do feed your fish in appropriate amounts or else it may cause health problems

    By rights the fish should not look that bloated. Overfeeding them only contributes to a shorter lifespan IMO.
