Anthias Feeding Schedule

raultsu · Mar 17, 2016

I have a trio of sunset anthias that I feed twice a day. Im looking to get some feed back from you guys as far setting a feeding schedule. Right now i feed them at 5:30 am and then again once i get home from work at 5pm. Its been working good except that one of the anthias never comes out for the morning feeding. Im thinking about skipping the morning feeding and feeding at 5pm and then again at 10pm. What do you think?

FL Reefer ? How did you get it to feed?

It ate right away for me. One of our LFS takes very good care of their fish and always has quality fish in their store so they had them eating before I bought it.

I have parvirostris and evansi anthias. I have an auto feeder that feeds nls pellets 2x a day, then when I get home I feed a few small meals, roughly half a cube for all my fish every 60-90 minutes between 5-7:30. I feed a variety of Piscine mysis, Hikari mysis, San Francisco Bay reef plankton, and LRS reef frenzy. The anthias didn't start out eating the pellets, but were 'trained' by the other fish after a few weeks.
