Hi All - I'm new to the world of the WCMM and would like a bit of advice. I'm afraid I only have a 30l tank which it seems may be a bit small. I would like to upgrade to something bigger but it won't be just yet.
I have had the tank up and running since around Aug 2011 and now successfully have just the 3 WCMM after a rocky start where I lost a couple. They seem settled and into the feeding routine.
Questions are:
- Can I add 1 more? I'm aware that any more than that could overload the tank/filter but would like to take the number up to 4. Will it unsettle the tank that took several weeks/months to get up and running? I will stick with the 3 if this is the best option as I don't want to lose any more!
- I feed them flake food once per day. Can I supplement with anything else - I read somewhere maybe a pea out of its shell? Conscious of overfeeding as they are so small and I have so few.
Many thanks for any help/advice. Having kept goldfish that had to end up in a pond due to their increase in size, I am really enjoying keeping something smaller and much nicer to look at!
