How often to feed fish

[reely989]

I don't know man, I have two planks running multiple times a day and an inD aquatics frozen feeder going twice a day. Think it probably depends on what you have but it seems to cut down on a lot of other problems to have fish that are well fed and not ornery. That being said I do rely on NoPox and Phosphate Rx to help with nutrients.

Small portions 6-7 times a day. Keeps the tangs happy and not wanting to fight.

I used to feed a few times a week with pellets and frozen two a week but on occasion had some pretty thin fish. Less algae but really like the look of well fed fish.

How often do you feed yours?

I now have an auto feeder which is nice so I don’t skip any feedings when I’m gone for the day etc, but I think it’s easy to go overboard with the availability for multiple feedings per day. I bumped it up to two per day and frozen twice a week as my Royal Gramma only eats the frozen and will wait till then to eat.

I do have a large skimmer so I don’t notice a big problem and it’s actually noticeably working now with the higher bioload.

I feel like most people underfeed because they think its good algae controll.

Most fish graze all day.

I feed my fish 3x a day.
