The fish nerds were right.
I have previously been feeding my fish (neon, cardinal, Buenos Aires, and black neon tetras, scissortail rasboras, plecos, and one betta) a steady diet of TetraColor flakes with a couple of dried blood worms for the betta. They seemed to have been doing fine, but when I made my last fish purchase at AquaTek, the fish nerd convinced me to get little frozen cubes of blood worms. She recommended that I thaw them out, but I asked her if it was okay for me to just throw the cube in the water right out of the freezer, which would thaw it out pretty quickly anyway. It was. The cubes are pretty cheap- you get a month's worth in a package that costs like five bucks.
So in cleaning the tank these days, there is a whole hell of a lot less poop to deal with. Turns out the Tetra stuff is the equivalent of Twinkies and Big Macs. It's been Super Size Me in the aquaria. Oh dear.
