whetu Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 If there's any left over food sitting around on the gravel, see if you can vacuum it out before it goes all gooey and nasty. Do more water changes that you would normally do, and keep an eye on your ammonia levels (rotting food may create an ammonia spike). Has your tank been established for a while, and has it gone fully through the cycling process? If so, you should be fine. If it's a newer tank you will need to be more cautious, do more water changes and keep a closer eye on water quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 don't panic, just don't feed them tomorrow & they will finish the rest. It will probably take 3 days or more to become an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
