Digital Scales have been purchased for the ARC. These will be used for monitoring/measuring; feed, fish and chemicals (Salt/Bi-Carb Soda).TARE: is a term in weights and measurements which refers to the weight of an empty container. Scales that have a TARE enable different ingredients in the same container to be weighed.
Overfeeding is: uneconomical, a hazard to fish health and water quality. Excess feed that decays will increase ammonia/Nitrite levels and disturb the pH of the water. The majority of our fish are surface or middle water column feeders... once food is on the bottom it is not eaten! Feed should be given to fish while they are hungry/eating. Daily changes will occur due to temperature, sunlight, time of day, stress etc. So feeding amounts may change day to day. Always observe the fish prior to, during and after feeding to ensure behaviour is 'normal' expected.
