    just curious... it seems impossible to remove almost all uneaten food from ur fish tank especially if ur base is those sand or gravel type. will the unremoved uneaten food poison the tank water?

    They can cause ammonia poisoning. Solution is easy, stop feeding so often and in lesser amounts

    Yes. A water change helps dilute the concentration of toxins in the water.

    Feed less. Save the food.

    Or else put in bottom feeding fish like Corys, Ghost Shrimps, Khuli Loaches (or most loaches).

    no need to feed so much and so often.. I feed my fishes every 2 or even 3 days..

    left over food will lead to algae and in large quanity, ammonia spike and may cause the fishes to die if your filter cannot the ammonia load..

    I so far only keeping guppy. I was thinking of getting Yamato prawn to help finish those uneated food. Is that a good idea?

    Rather than getting more tankmates to help finish up the uneaten food, cutting down on the amount being fed will be more economical.

    Guppies are so greedy, if there's leftover, it'll mean you've given them too much food.
