Fish feeding.
Am I right in thinking that fish won't feed in the dark? I'm rapidly
approaching the time of year when I leave for work in the dark, and
arrive home from work in the dark. This presents a feeding problem.
Thoughts??
If I'm awake I can hear my fish clooping (a loud sharp sucking noise)
all night long especially if it's warmish and there is a bit of moon
about, so yes they do feed at night. However when the water
temperature gets down towards 50°F they virtually stop feeding no
matter what the light is like.
Thanks Bob
