How much should I be feeding?

[Jl330]

I've always fed lightly when I had freshwater tanks so I'm not sure I'm feeding enough.

Stock list is
Pair of false percs pretty small still
Bangai cardinal 3"
Yellow tang 3"
6 line wrasse small
Royal gramma 2.5-3"

Pretty big cuc


I have been feeding a cube of mysis eod and a couple shakes of pellets on non mysis days.

I need to start giving my tang some nori or something but am I feeding enough?

Always a tough question to answer, at least for me. The general consensus I've found is enough that your fish consume it all in 2-3 minutes. A cube seems a little high to me, especially if it's given at one time. Between my 5 fish, 2 ocellaris, an orange back fairy wrasse, a tail spot blenny, and a flasher wrasse I feed maybe half of a cube throughout the day spread over 3 to 4 feedings and honestly feel like I need to pare it back some. The first three fish are all fully grown, the last two are still in QT.
