I just picked up a 3" SAE. Pretty big but I am hoping that it will last
longer. I think that my SAE's are just starving to death. What kind of
food is good for Tetras and will sink to the bottom for the SAE? Right now
I am using flak food and the Tetras are eating it before it can reach the
bottom. I feed every other day.

I use RO water. The water here in Minnesota is very hard. The water sits
for about a week before I actually use it so if there were any chlorine or
anything like that is should have enough time to distill right?
