how many times should i feed my RES in a day and how much should i feed? i have one 4.5" and one 2.5"
Added on September 5, 2010, 10:18 pm QUOTE(vivtch @ Sep 2 2010, 10:44 PM) Hi, I have a question, would like to seek advice here. wow i missed this post... from wat ive read many many times... RES are born to be superb swimmers so there's not much concern but you have to provide a place where they can stay underwater but their heads can lift out from the water surface to breathe...I keep 2 RES, they are just 3.5” and 2.7”. Always read that should provide a mininum L x W x D of water for them. My concern is the depth of the water. Is there a maximum depth I should beware of? I plan for a new tank with 22” depth of water. It may not be even enough when they grow to adult. But for now, it is too deep for them? Thank you.

I have read that it is not recomended to provide too much marine food to RES. How deep is the water level? Is it floating and struggling to swim down?
