I want to do the right thing and I've got plenty of food.

~jan, what say you?

Phyllis& Jim?

The biggest problem when it is hot is the temperature of the water, the
bio-bugs are not as efficient when it gets 80F and above. Though I have
noticed my fish aren't as active at those temps, but that could be due to
lower O2 in warmer water perhaps? ~ jan

So then, a benefit of not feeding as much in this extremely hot weather
is to reduce the amount of fish waste which might otherwise foul cooler
water?
