A feeding log you will actually keep

Overfeeding is the most common beginner mistake in the hobby, and it is not a discipline problem. It is a memory problem.

Uneaten food decays into ammonia. Ammonia feeds the bacteria that produce nitrite, then nitrate. That is the whole chain, and it starts with a second feeding nobody needed because someone could not remember the first one.

One tap, per tank

Every tank has its own feeding action on the dashboard. Tap once when you feed; the entry is timestamped and attached to that tank. If two people in the house feed the fish, the log is the referee.

Fasting days and rotation

Not every tank is fed every day. Note fasting days, rotate between foods, and keep a record of what was refused — a fish that stops eating is usually the first symptom you get, and it is easy to miss if you have no baseline.

A useful rule of thumb

If food is still on the substrate two minutes after feeding, you fed too much — and that is worth writing down. The log turns a vague habit into a measured one.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can I log feeding for multiple tanks at once?
Yes — quick actions can be applied to several tanks in one pass, which is what most multi-tank keepers do on a feeding round.
Does feeding data show up in trends?
Feeding entries sit on the same timeline as tests and maintenance, so when nitrate jumps you can see what was happening in the days before it.
