Hey, you changed your nick name and avatar  Is that you? Sorry to reply only now, we got 5 Platies for the tank, just introduced them 40 min ago and observed them. Yes, with feeding there are so many recommendations, I agree it is confusing sometimes. But I think better less than too much. I watched a DVD yesterday about fish keeping. There they say according to feeding that we should observe how round or flat their tummy is. So this means if the tummy is quite round, they had too much. If it is concave, that means sort of hollow they need to get more. If their tummy is nice and evenly curved this is ideal. Also my personal opinion is: A slightly hungry (gold) fish is a healthy one.

Hi KingArt777, haven't heard from you for so long. Hope you and your Betta are fine. Bubba sure will like his new home. You can feed him now, must not wait until tomorrow. But one pellet after the other, you can watch him while he is eating. It is so cute. But please don't feed more than about 6 pellets, ok. Did you use some of his old water? If yes all should be fine. Do you have some conditioner for Bubbas water? Do you have a plant for him too? He'd love it and will sit sometimes on the leaves
