That's a small load. I have mine on the Eheim auto-feeder and feed a decent load two double feeds per day. For your load, I would say one time per day would be fine on the smallest setting (about a small pinch of food).

I feed my fish once a day and it works great. I have an automatic feeder and the pellet size is perfect. It is especially great because it is one of the few that I found that are sinking pellets. I have overflows for my tank and floating food wouldn't work well.

A goldfish would quickly outgrow it. Goldfish are also heavy waste producers and would overwhelm this system. Goldfish are also social and shouldn't be alone. If you are limited in space and finances, get 2 small goldfish, a 10 gallon, and a filter for at least a 30 gallon tank, and change 30-50 percent of the water weekly. Your goldfish would need to be upgraded to at least a 30 gallon tank by the time they're a year old. I absolutely LOVE the fluval view. But it's meant for a betta or a school of 5 or 6 small fish like neon tetras, threadfin rainbows or white cloud mountain minnows. I hope this helps! A goldfish would quickly outgrow it.

3 is the max I just do 2 and the smallest amount. My fish were small after a year they are larger. Feeder is working well.

I break the flakes and feed two time at they two portions and in other tank I feed little 4 time at day. Also I try to not add to much food (for 7-9 day) if I will be in home. I notice the food began compact because the humidity. Some time I remove the food and dry it in the over or add new food after clean and dry the food chamber. I have several feeder some of my feeder use rechargable batteries is an option if you need to feed several time at day.

I have the LFS small fish formula and Omega 3s and give 1-3 pellets a feeding 1-2 times a day. I alternate between pellets and flightless fruit flies. I also try to fast a day here or there. Keep an eye on their stomach and gauge from there. If it bulges, even once, lay off the dosage and adjust from there.

It's a really nice little tank. Any fish will do great but it is very small. I think if you did somethinglike a neon or molly you could have up to 4 or 5.

mine came with 2 for tropical, 1 for goldfish- for the 10 gall. tank, it shows only use 2 in the "not-so-good" instructions for a beginner.

I have fed my betta 1 pellet in the morning and two in the evening and she has been healthy for the last two years. 5-10 is definitely too much and will probably cloud the water if it doesn't eat them. If u do choose to go that route then I would agree with kcharn, prob a month for 10 and two months for 5. But over feeding is bad for your betta!

it depends on the load on the filters. i have two large cichlids that are housed in a 125 gal aquarium and mostly feed them live minnows. the pellets seem to be alot of waste because when they eat them about half escapes out their gills and mouth. monitor your aquarium regularly withe a test kit. this will help you get a feel of how often you need to change carbon and zeolite media if that is what your going to use. love the penn-plax filters best bang for your bucks!

My plants seemed to do well with only this substrate and no additives. I had Java fern, Java Moss, and some Anubias spp. in my tank with the flourite dark, low light, and 3 fish spp. (goldfish, minnow, and pleco). They grew well and were nice and green for months (until I put my turtle in the tank and he ate them all). That said, I didn't see any extraordinary plant growth during that time. If you are working on an amazing planted aquarium where the focus is plants and you want to see major growth/etc., you may need additional supplements. However, if you are more interested in a nice looking environment for your fish, I doubt you'll need to add anything. My plants seemed to do well with only this substrate and no additives.

I have a betta, two ADFs and just added this little guy. I was a little worried about the frogs getting snapped at so I monitored closely. At first, one of the frogs was actually "nipping" the crayfish. I don't know if this was territorial or if the crayfish smells like dinner. Crayfish was initially a little defensive but hasn't done any actual harm, and the frogs tend to dart away if they run into each other. After a couple days everything seems peaceful, I think they just needed a few days to get used to one another. I do recommend plenty of hiding places at various heights to expand the amount of available "territory". I have a betta, two ADFs and just added this little guy.

I don't actually have the glo fish...I have a betta, and for awhile there was also a snail. While the snail did frequently come up to the top of the bowl, neither of them ever made a move to actually jump out :)

I have a 100 gallon stock tank full of 3in+ goldfish. This is their primary diet.

I am sorry for the delay, here is the way I have it, I am the type of person who prefer to have more than less, I have 2 in mine and both are 1500 and it is a very big and strong current if your fish are at least 5 inches it will be fine if they are smaller it will be too much, also I have them running one hour each so the current changes and there is a flow everywhere, this is my way of doing it. so Basically for small passive fish one will do, for bigger fish 2 because it will create a nice current and some like it and some avoid it. Sorry for the delay, and I hope I was able to answer your question.Dimitri I am sorry for the delay, here is the way I have it, I am the type of person who prefer to have more than less, I have 2 in mine and both are 1500 and it is a very big and strong current if your fish are at least 5 inches it will be fine if they are smaller it will be too much, also I have them running one hour each so the current changes and there is a flow everywhere, this is my way of doing it. so Basically for small passive fish one will do, for bigger fish 2 because it will create a nice current and some like it and some avoid it.

Not too bad. I have catfish. Plecostmous, koi, and algae eaters, they all love it just fine.

I use pelts on one side and flakes on the other. The amount of food depends on what size food you plan to use. I have 7 six inch gold fish and I feed them twice a day. You can set the number of food screw rotations. I have mine set for two turns on both side. I have to refill my pelt side about every two weeks and my flakes side about every three weeks.I really like my unit it works for me.
