Thanks both of you, – I think I hear it to be so that it might be okay to continue feeding every day, but maybe a bit less. In particular tanks with fry I will continue to feed everyday.
But I think that during the summer period, when I am not so much at home in my flat, I will feed less.
Because there’s another thing which actually worries me. I dont have a lot of deaths, or sickness with my fish, – but the last 4 has been breeding males (one yesterday). All of them ‘succesfull’ males, which really makes me think, that theres something not right in keeping the ‘perfect’ conditions for the couples continually without pauses. This includes food, water, ph, etc … not implying that I am going to make it deteriorate, – one obtion is also to seperate couples every now and again.
But I am quite sure that the continual breeding eagerness of these small males is hard for them. In nature of course in periods conditions are ‘less optimal’ – (less food, drying out waters and other things) – where the fish might have breeding pauses.

At least this is my theory.
