YO

got some recommended aquatic plants Duckweed Anchitia or whatever and Water Hydrith.

They normally didnt take to greens very well when i was feeding them so i left the plants in the tank for them to graze at will....well their really taking a liking to them but they are eating them quite a bit.

I was just wondering if i should take them out and offer smaller amounts of them daily while i feed them pellets every other day.

I recently ran into an overfeeding issue and im just worried about correcting it.

PLEASE HELP!!!! THANKS!!!!

It's tough to feed them too many greens. If they are throwing them up or having loose flaky poops you might want to cut back on them. The things you have to really worry about overfeeding are high protein foods and sugary foods.
