How often should I feed my fish?

[Miketc17]

I have a 27g cube with 2 clowns, 1 fire fish, 1 blenny, 1 royal gramma, 1 cleaner shrimp and 2 sexy shrimp. I'm only running an AC70 refugium with 2 koralia's 425. I've been feeding every other day. Is this too little or too much? Should I feed daily?

Are you skimming? If not then as long as your fish seem healthy every other day is fine. If you are skimming you could probably feed every day or even multiple times a day, some fish prefer to have multiple meals a day. It all depends on what you are comfortable with. Keep in mind fish will always act hungry even when they are not.

I am not skimming.

We feed ours every other day with frozen shrimp or pellets- alternating days and fish are doing well. Have HOB protein skimmer and a small refugium.

Great. I'm glad to hear that! I will stick to my every other day feedings then.

I feed about 5 times a week, skipping a day here and there. I vary the foods between PE frozen Mysis, Spirulina flakes, Formula frozen varieties and a few others.

I feed my fish every day, once every day.

I feed twice a day everyday because I don't think my new Citron Goby is eating enough when I feed. And I always feed my Tangs twice a day.

I run a 24 gal Cardiff with a skimmer. I feed once a day and alternate food every other day between mysis, brine, and pellets

160 gals with a skimmer, I feed every day. I mix it up between mysis, brine, pellets and algea every once in a while for my tangs. They go crazy when i feed them. I think if i fed them every other day they may try to eat each other lol.
