How often should you feed a fish in QT that is eating readily. Have a sailfin that eats whatever i put in like a pig. But there has to be a limit... and a minimum. Whats everyones thoughts?

Thanks for the quick response @melypr1985 and very informational. Ill keep up feedimg regiment since biofilter is keeping up with 1"×.5" sheet of nori as well as flakes and pellets once daily respectively. Since he seems to clean his plate so to speak. No matter what i feed him no leftovers.
The species of fish you are QT'ing also comes into play.
Low metabolism species - clowns, chromis, cardinalfish, angels, etc. - can be fed just 1x daily.
However, high metabolism species - tangs, rabbitfish, wrasses, anthias, etc. - need to be fed at least 2x daily or with mandarins even more often.
Was hoping youd chime in on this one. Thanks for the info! Will keep that in mind. After 15 years of no QT gotta do it nowadays it seems.The species of fish you are QT'ing also comes into play.
