Best Answer

If your fish food is staying afloat for a week it is most likely because it is just buoyant and you have overfed your fish. Feeding your fish less will reduce fish food staying afloat as well as help keep your fish and tank healthy.

Should you get the excess food out of your fish tank?

yes! unless you have an algae eater, fish don't like it when you have leftover food, fish foods spoil a lot in water Excess fish food will sink to the substrate and decay. This decay will create nitrates that is bad for your water quality and your fish. To reduce the amount of food in the substrate feed your fish less food and replace 10% of the water in your aquarium every week. At the same time vacuum your substrate to remove the excess food and fish waste. To prevent excess food only feed your fish once a day and only enough that they can eat in two minutes. I do this in the morning then give my 15 fish in a 75-gallon aquarium a cube of blood worms at night. See link below there is a video on how to vacuum your aquarium to remove the fish food.

How do you take care of two small fish?

Well, it all starts with a good size bowl. The large ones that's shaped like a rectangle. And then buy some tiny rocks for the bottom of the tank. Then get decorations like plants and statues which you can buy at pet stores. Then, buy some food for your certain kind of fish. Example: If you have tropical fish buy the fish food with "Tropical Fish" on it. After you have put all your decorations in, poor the water in with the fish. When feeding the fish get a pinch of the food. And the fish tank must be clean about once every week or so. Good luck!
