How cutteri feed their babies - Bottom stirring method
Stir up bottom... float algae and other organic matter such as flagellates, nematodes, diatoms, wathaveu...
In tis instance unfortunately they have to stir... well... stir shit... more correctly partially digested feed... as I have been overfeeding tis tank. Have a look.
