Damsels

[reefsquad3]

Hello everyone quick question I just bought my first 3 damsels yesterday and I am just curious as to how often should I feed them? Google seems to have all sorts of different answers

I feed mine what they can eat in 2 - 3 minutes, twice per day, and everyone stays fat and happy.

Damsels tend to be aggressive. To limit aggression I would personally feed 3-4 times a day in small quantities.

I feed my whole tank once a day at noon. And they have bin great for a month now. Fish don't need to eat everyday to be honest if they were wild they wouldn't eat everyday.

In the wild most reef fish feed frequently throughout the day, so I'm not sure where the info that they don't is from.

Depending on the species of damsel involved, aggression can be high or not that bad. But feeding frequency can habe an affect on aggression levels. Gteater feeding frequency diffuses aggression.

If you can't feed multiple times a day you could get an automatic feeder. Be careful with it though as it is way easier to overfeed
