Default RTC suddenly spit out her food.

Hi all. Would like to enquire.. my rtc suddenly spit out the food she ate after afew hrs. She was eating fine at first.
after her meal, I went to do a water change of 20 percent and went to sleep. After afew hrs when I woke up, I realised she spit out all the food she ate.
Why is this happening? Please advice.

Do not do wc aft meals as it will affect the water parameters causing stress to the livestock.

U can feed after wc but not immediately.

Had the same experience with my rtc. Most likely due to wc. It will be fine after a while and eating as usual. I scooped up all the floating food.

You can do WC first, wait for few hours for the livestock to adapt to the new water you've put in then feed them

Do not feed on the day of wc... Common mistakes people make.
