Therefore, bacteria thrive more easily on these dead fish, causing more rot and pitchers to dry off.

Feeding one BIG stuff also causes rot faster. I once fed half a slug into my truncata. The pitcher liquid was completely murky and blur within a day and in a week, the pitcher dried off.

They are not big fish they are lil guppies only about 2 inches long and I never feed it the adult fish only the babys I was feeding it a lot more babs when there wore new borns but now the the babys are getting bigger I cut back
