Thanks a lot John! I turn my 2 Tunze pumps and a powerhead off during a feeding for about 30 minutes (after I turn the light off). There are a lot of stones, caves and driftwood in the tank so I hope there are some places where the food can stay in I have my 24 zebras for half a year so I think they aren't starvingJohn wrote: got nothing to say but aaaaah beautifull !!!!!!!!
just one question: how do do manage to feed with a turnover rate like that?
My English is not as good as i wish it beJohn wrote: OK i understand
Yes, I know but unfortunately I don't know how to name them in English. In Polish language those rocks are named "Fyllit" They are beautiful, black and neutral for water parameters. Here is a picture of "fyllit" rocks in a garden shop (can You name them in English?):Do you know what kind of black rock you have there in your tank?
And here are some "fyllit" rocks without sharp edges:

They come in all different colors, from silver - grey - brown - black.
The black is the most beautiful in my opinion
