Do you feed your Banggai Cardinalfish when lights out

[rmorris_14]

So I was reading about the different fish we have in our 32 Gal Biocube, which we purchased stocked with fish from someone getting out of the hobby. When reading about the Banggai Cardinalfish and it says to feed it three times a day with one feeding being a night after the lights are out.

We feed heavily once a day, with either frozen Rods reef food or LRS reef frenzy, before the lights starting ramping down for the evening.

​

Does anyone else do the evening feed for the Banggai Cardinalfish?

I don’t but it seems these guys never sleep
Perhaps I should try tonight and see if it responds

Hmmm. I feed the full tank a couple times a day and the cardinals all eat plenty as far as I can tell.

I have had one for a year or two and only fed it after lights out the first week in the main display when it was too shy to eat with the rest of the fish. Once it started eating with the once daily broadcast feeding I then stopped feeding at night.

And yes these fish are ready to eat at anytime during the night.
