How i feed my aquarium fish, HOW MUCH, WHEN and WHAT I feed my fish tanks 

I like Kyle he is or never will be frank but he looks cool he definitely has cool colors

Love watching the feeding videos! It took me a long time to get it through my head to stop overfeeding. It's just so calming to sit back and enjoy watching them eat.

Joey, I must say all of your tanks look spectacular! Definitly the best version of the gallery, even the fish selection is perfect

Kudos to the King of DIY- this video was very instructive and entertaining. It confirms several feeding practices I had already implemented caring for my oscars. Thank you Joey

This is an awesome video. And a real light bulb moment for me! I have been over feeding but now will take stock on what I am doing and try a better and simpler approach. Thanks Joey 😊

My Uaru have laid eggs 4x now in my aquarium that also has severum and geos. They always eat their own eggs. I think because it's a community set up and protecting the eggs is stressful or maybe just not getting fertilized. I don't have space to do a Uaru only breeding tank but would love to do it. I've read they can lose their bond quite easily so might be something to consider if you move them. But it would be cool to see you give it a try. If you're successful maybe I'll find room lol. Great video!

Hi Joey, I love your content & always look forward to your next video. I've learned a lot from the knowledge that you share & I'm sure there's still more to learn. I love your gallery & your variations in species of fish. I myself would love for you to do a Jack Dempsey tank. I think they're gorgeous cichlids, constantly changing in color letting you know how they feel yet I admit pretty aggressive also yet I feel they're overlooked often in the hobby. I guess it's just a suggestion. Again thanks for all you offer to the hobby.

Thanks Joey, your wisdom, knowledge and ingenuity is fantastic! 🥰

A hardware store 😅 years ago gave me the best advice! They had a huge decorative tank...all sizes fish told me they fed 1x every 2 weeks! I experimented with my now 6 community tanks and comfortable feeding variety every 5 days. Been going well for many years! Looking to start goldfish tank. Understand to feed more. You're right... Type of fish matters as well as variety. Good info video thanks!

Great to see the knowledge of what's needed and what's not, explained simply. Very well put together show there.

Great job Joey! Tanks look awesome as always and one of the best videos I've seen spoken like a true leader! I don't know the exact numbers but I bet you 95% of people over feed way too much. I have been in the hobby for over 40 years and currently have over 25 tanks, everything you said is exactly spot on as far as I see thanks for the great info and for sharing with everyone.

Awesome video Joey. This is truly a video every fish keeper should see

Nothing better then a King Of DIY video as my break 16 hours into the snow! Great video as always!

Very informative and I feel like I learned quite a bit. Thank you for sharing

Awesome Vid bro, i learnt alot. Excellent content! Cheers

Man I love watching you videos. Thank you for the content.

Thanks for the video! Was wondering if we were gonna see one this week!

I used Ron's cichlids food they also make a health food that has medication in it too. But the ingredients are very well proportion

Absolutely impressive. This is one of the best fish galleries I ever seen. 👏 bravo!

Dude I love the long videos and as always the information is on point.

Love watching your vids mate they have definately given me new ideas with my set up With the ray tank the filter may need a media change. Just like a pool set up after a few years the media (sand/glass/etc) will start to soften or lose the sharp edges when this occurs it will cause improper filtration and cloudy water

Wow the funnest video I have watched from you in a wile great job 👏

Everyone was good to eat, and then there’s Kyle…..LOL

It's been about a year since I've watched you nice to check-in and see you still so excited and enjoying your hobby.

Hi Joey I love the gallery looks amazing. I feed my fish twice a day but I notice sometimes they don’t want to eat. So I’m trying just to feed them once a day a mix of flake food and some pellets too.

Agree with all that Joey. Anyone running a canister filter will soon know if they are over feeding when they come to clean out the sludge. One thing I discovered by accident .... I feed my growing discus a beef heart mix so also feed that to juvenile Tetra's and Cory's occasionally. Just tiny amounts shaken up in a small container with tank water to break it up. Most of the time they spawn easily on that so no need for live food with the inherent risk. Keep up the good work. :-)

Absolutely loved the video. 😍😍

I’ve been making my “trail mix” of 4 to 5 pellets, flakes, and treats for my fish and they have been healthier and more energetic since!

As a fellow fish house/gallery keeper its nice to see your prepared, generators etc i have never had to test my setup for real but i can imagine the stress, good luck and hope all goes well

This def. gives me something to consider. Your exactly right though feeding is a way to interact and I do find myself feeding for that purpose. I am going to try the every other day with the larger fish and see how that goes.

I have a 15” Fluval tank, I have a big black Moor goldfish, a red and white Goldfish, a bristlenose and two assassin snails (which I always think are dead until I see them moving once in awhile), I feed mine twice a day, a pinch of flakes in the morning and a few pinches of frozen kale in the evening. I’m thinking about getting two angel fish.

My 💡 moment on feeding my fish was when i found you!!! You showed me so much including your recipes. You rock my phenomenal friend.

Great video as usual. Love seeing the gallery. One thing I never heard you mention were blood worms. I give those as a "snack" food. What's your thoughts on that type of food?

I feed once a day with my bettas. My community tank I feed twice a day to ensure my frogs and bottom dwellers get a feed past the greedy live bearers. I feed either flake food or bloodworms. Excellent video, thank you 😊gonna try making a mix as u have. Probably easier and more time saving for me

I’ve had several arothron puffers who got along great with the other fish in the tank but as soon as it came to feeding time it didn’t matter. If the other fish had a chunk of food that the puffer wanted, the fish would have to drop it or else! I had several fish get rather large chunks taken out of them! They are definitely gluttons and come feeding time nothing else matters. I had a 300 with a 12” golden puffer and 10” clown trigger, most of the time the trigger was in charge but during feeding he would always submit to the golden.

Your tanks are ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! 😍

Hey Joey? One of the lights over your really nice looking aquariums started shaking wildly back and forth around the 8:45-9:00 time mark. Dunno wut's going on there but that kinda caught my attention outside of the gorgeous set ups you have~!

Great video, keep it up 🕊️🇬🇧

18:45 Was genuinely funny and made me chuckle lol

Great video as always

I really look forward to your videos. I have a question are you planning any videos on your Saltwater water tank in the near future? TIA

Thank you Joey!

Do you weigh the activity level of the fish? I feed my danios twice a day because they are in a very high flow aquarium that they love swimming directly in the flow of. Because od all that energy they use I feed them twice.

love your videos!!

We love your videos!!

@31:00 - this is probably first video of Kyle , how is no one as much psyched as I am ! Hahahaha

Father Fish was my lightbulb moment. He advocates for very minimal feeding. So now I feed three times a week or so. I only keep planted tanks and they harbor many microorganisms and natural algae. The fish will feed on these and it helps reduce maintenance time. I also feed a lot less algae wafers and the like to bottom feeders. The food you give to your other fish are consumed, digested, and released with most of the nutrients still in it and then your scavengers pick at that and consume it. As it is digested more and more it's broken down in the food web until it becomes more available for plants. Really cool how nature works. My cories are still looking plump and very active.

we have a 55 gallon tank that has 6cardinal tetras, 1 rosaline shark, 4butterfly loaches, 10khuli loaches, 1 white skirt tetra, 1 albino bushynose pleco, 3 albino corys, 2 jewilis corys, and 6 (4 regular and 2 gold) dojo/weather loaches. we feed them flakes twice a day. Shrimp pellets once or twice a week as well as frozen mysis shrimp which the dojo's go nuts for. we also have a 35 gallon cube tank that has 3 dwarf gouramis, 6 cardinal tetras, 4 red wag sordtails, 6 rummy nose tetras, 5 purple harlequin tetras, 3 panda corys, 7 kholi loaches, 2 chili rasboras and 1 albino bushynose pleco. this tank is fed flakes as their daily primary food. they also get catfish pellets and shrimp pellets every other day. once a week both tanks will get frozen bloodworms, tubifex worms and brine shrimp (for the 35g) or mysis shrimp for the 55g.

A planted guppy tank with cory cats and amano shrimp. I cycle through several different dried foods (flakes, pellets, daphnia, brine shrimp, and algae wafers I break apart.) They I have frozen community food cubes and frozen blood worm cubes. They seem to be enjoying the variety

Excellent video again!! How are the aratus when they show they are male and turn black, do they get along ? I have a bunch, I separated two males into my peacock tank and have two in my Mbuna tank with six female. I put my hand in the water and grab one when they fight and go in circles, it stops the fight, for a while... I have bumble bee too and I handle them too when I'm in there cleaning and not, they bite my finger, I pet there heads, they let me pick them up, and come back for more.

Hi Joey, can you tell me how you prepare that black stuff (of what you say has everything in it) you said it has meat, vegetables etc in it Thnx in advance

Glad I did this😊big change in the fish

Hey Joey, Cause of your vids and passion for the hobby i recently got my first 20 gallon aquarium but now i have a problem with heating it. I am using a jbl 150w heater its suppose to handle much more water then i have in my aquarium. But everytime in the morning the tempeture of the water dropped 1 degree and it has never hit the tempeture i put it on (24 degrees celcius). Do you maby know what i can try?

Good vi. Love Kyle!.

I just got a betta, and I have been feeding it 3-4 betta pellets in the morning, and at night I feed it 2 pellets, and I am think about getting a few tetras for the tank, but I don’t know what to feed all the fish together, but I think I am going to feed them tropical flakes, but I don’t how how much

My freshwater fish, I feed a mix of Hikari pellets. My saltwater fish get a mix of frozen foods(mysis, Callanus, brine, mussel, squid, krill, roe and a vitamin called selcon. Tangs and wrasses also get a sheet of seaweed.)

Great Video...

Your tanks look absolutely amazing my man. The piranha one...is still my fav. This video helped a lot. I am struggling with trying to get my black piranha to eat. I'm afraid I ruined him after he grew out of the juvenile period by giving him "feeder goldfish". After hearing horror stories about feeder goldfish, I'm trying frozen fish like cod, tilapia, perch, shrimp, etc. Not only can feeder goldfish be expensive but some days, I'd rather not leave the house and just go in my freezer just like you, let it thaw and drop it in the tank. In your opinion, should I starve him a few days and try the frozen fish again. I have a piece of squid that's been in there for over a day now. I'm about to take it out because clearly, he doesn't want it. Please let me know your suggestions, when you have a moment...but thanks for this video. You're a monster with this fish game.

Thumbs up and hats off!

Nice video buddy

You and IFG got me good today with that phone call, Joey!

i am an overfeeder, but i love it and love your videos

Have you ever thought of a sump and a automatic filter roller? I feel like that will clear up the water really good 👍🏼

Nice video ❤️

I absolutely love your gallery!!! I’ve only had a tank for about a year now and it actually started as a tank for my red eared slider and I ended up adding fish. He hasn’t eaten any of them so I just keep branching out. I currently have two black angels, four pearl danios, four tuxedo mollies, 3 Dalmatian mollies, two neon tetras, and too many panda corydoras to count. I started with 4 and they keep breeding like crazy. What do you do with them? I feel like the tank is getting crowded. It’s a 55 gallon with all of those fish and a one year old turtle but idk what to do with the extra fish? Do you give them away? Do I need to get another tank? Also, after watching this video I’m pretty sure I’m way over feeding my fish lol. I just assumed that any extra food would be consumed by all of the corydoras but the water is pretty cloudy even though I’m running a fluval fx4 on a 55 gallon tank. It has always been a dream of mine to have stingrays. I absolutely love them. They’re gorgeous and adorable.

I have done feeding in the same manner and my fish show good growth and amazing color I have bet seen them more color up.(mixed pellets and frozen foods)

I have been feeding once a day. I rescued a 5” fahaka and he is being really picky right now. He won’t east clams, shrimp, silversides, krill. I’m trying all kinds of things. He will eventually eat the piece if I leave overnight. I think I need to do what you said and wait a couple of days.

Absolutely love the look of the algae in the Apisto tank. What kind is it (BB?) and what did you do different to keep it only in that tank?

Joey, I have a question for you big guy. How much air do I need for my K-1 chamber? Dementions of the chamber is 5" wide, 21" long, 12" sump water height? My Bubble bar is the 1/2" pvc pipe 21" long air input into both ends.

Oscars with the fahaka😍 so pretty! Kinda wanna clear my tank now.....

Joey are you ever going to make a hillstream tank? I get it's a challange but would love to see it in action!

Your Oscar tank is my favorite. I love it

Yo, for the beefheart recipe, just grind down the shrimp with the shell ON, not the heads or tails though, and cut off the tough spine near the tail. That will be a sufficient binder so as you don't make a mess in your tanks. :)

Where is all the saltwater fishes? Didnt you have alot more before the renovation?

Red Belly Piranha, and Caribe and Serra Black Piranha are my favorite fish back in the days 10+ years ago. Spent thousands on them and their aquariums, but now a days as we get older, tend to have more peaceful community small fish aquariums!

I have a 40 breeder with a solo electric blue acara. I feed him cut up shrimp twice a day or three very small meals a day. He unfortunately won't eat anything but frozen bloodworms, bladder snails, and cut up shrimp (he never has). I went on vacation this past December and left him without food for 6 days. He wouldn't even tough flakes or pellets when I came back. I'm considering trying to soak the flakes and pellets in the same container I have my cut up shrimp in.

My lightbulb moment was having a sick fish and someone just said to fast them for a few days, and it was amazing how well it worked. Decided to skip a day of feeding on them here and there.

Every tank's on point ❤

Maybe you can get some tetras or a small rainbow or something in your apisto tank to give it more life. Just a little school of something plus some Cory's cats and or kuli loaches down at the bottom to help with that detritus.. and a splash of green maybe some jungle val.. Quite an excellent selection of tanks though good collection. Oh and a couple of Colombian shark cats for your brackish tank. And a large school of Apollo sharks in your stingray aquarium would be so dope.

Joey, I have a question. When do you start feeding your Asian Arowana every 2 days. Mine I feed 2x daily but, I think it’s already 15” long, so I might try to lower the frequency of feeding. Lmk your thoughts and advice me pls.

Nice vid ^-^

A tank of around 30 Malawi Cichlid's... I feed a mix of pellets and flake in the morning and fresh in the evening, but both meals are quite small and spread throughout the tank so everyone gets a bit. Everything is gone pretty quick. All fish are healthy and active and the water quality is perfect. Small meals often or larger meals spread out... What do you think is best?

I enjoyed the long video, I wouldn’t mind more of them. I feed my fish once a day.

God dammit Kyle! 😂😂 "Frank would have never..." best line ever 🤣🤣

I have had freshwater and saltwater and I have learned to let the fish tell me what they need but for the most part I feed a mix of pellets,algae and flakes I have frozen foods but my fish don’t really go for it that much and most of it ends up going in the filter. And I feed every other day

When you start breeding the uaru will the setup be like when you breed discuss?

Heads up on using the Convict babies as food, do it when they are still small, once the convicts get around the three quarter inch range, i think their spines get too hard/sharp and your fish wont eat them anymore. Keep up the good work.

good content...but still waiting for that fresh water eel community tank lol

@King of DIY do you think a peacock eel would look cool on your big community tank?

You may have already made a video like this but I’d be interested in a video showing what qualities make a good Flowerhorn or Arowana or what to look for health wise, deformities, etc. when purchasing these kinds of fish

I'm trying to grow my electric blue jack Dempsey what can I feed him to help grow out aa little quicker

Are those fish with the red bottom fin, Severums ? If so what kind. I have 3 kinds but wanna grab one if those. Where could I get one ?

Always in a good mood for watching your content - I do hope you are alright, and have a great day! See you soon ❤️🌹

Enjoy your video's. Are all the stumps and sticks and rocks in your tanks real? I'm in the process of making a tank 1421 gallons. 4dx5wx10L in my new shop. Im putting an 85 inch by 32 inch front viewing window. I'm making it for my koi. Is it safe to put a stump from the St Lawrence river in it? Thanks in advance for your input. Peace&Out

Your the best of the best

this Feeding video is very helpful

I also feed once a day., unless there are babies. Loved the video 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Are you going to be at Aquashella Orlando?

Hey Joey, can you link the polycarbonate panels that you used?

I have two 33 gallon community tanks, I feed different food every day. Tetra mini granules, tetra pro color crisps, different brand catfish pellets, different brand flake, I add half an algae wafer occasionally although only one of the tanks eat it. Frozen blood worm once a week usually the day before I plan a water change. When I do a water change every 7-10-14 days I don't feed them the day after and occasionally I skip a day maybe once a week or every 2 weeks. I have all small fish platys, rummynose tetra, ember tetra, honey gourami, corydoras, bristlenose and nerite snails although they don't eat anything except algae, i've never seen them try and eat any other type of food.
