Acans and clean up crews - argh

[diverdick]

Ok, here is my dilemma:

I finally got the Acan bug and have four very nice (expensive) Acans and two micro's. I have been very diligent in feeding and have noticed something. Fish and inverts have a taste for the food I prepare. So much so that the fish chase the feeding tube around and become very aggressive towards the tube...tail slapping and everything. After that is over, the food that the acans and such have in their grasp is targeted by scavengers. The likes of nassarius snails & hermits. I must say, they are also aggressive feeders.

To my question: Are there similar issues with your tanks at feeding time? Looking for a better solution to growing my acans!

Best regards,

put te acans on a frag rack... stuck to the side of the tank with a magfloat.

feed them up there. crabs wont get up there... and fish should be asleep. feed them at night

feed the acans after the lights go out you will get less of a response from the fish.
