Re: need help L046 babys dying

Would it be ok to stop the powerhead and slow the filter when I feed the babys which would all night.Thats the only time they eat and start them back in the morning.I have shrimp sticks that when they get soft they are like a power.I'll take the other things you offer.thanks steve
