How many times a day do you feed your fish?

[Ento-Reefer]

I feed 1.5 sheets of nori and a mix of LRS reef frenzy and mysis. I try to feed 3 times a day but sometimes it is 2.

 

[squampton]

I feed once a day on work days and twice on my days off.

 

[Brett newell]

I alternate hikari frozen cubes. I do one cube 3 to 4 times a day.

 

[ZaneTer]

4 times a day, spread evenly throughout the day (automated). I used to lose chromis, I always believed it was because they like to pick on each other. Turns out I simply wasnt feeding them enough which drove their aggression.

 

[mdrobc13]

I have two Eheim autofeeders which feed flake/pellet mix about 2x daily. Then I add frozen brine shrimp and krill for the bigger tangs in my tank and add flake at least once a day.

 

[KMench]

I feed 0-4x a day. Depends on the day. Sometimes they are stuck to pick at pods and other days I give them a feeding frenzy. I work 24 hour shifts and haven’t ever fed them pellets, and when I’ve tried they don’t eat them. So if they don’t want pellets, they’ll just have to make due when I’m gone all day

 

[Tbyram]

I feed 2 x a day. Both times a cube of frozen food. Lately it has been mysis in morn and brine at nite. Also give my goby a part of a krill. However I’m about to start making my own concoction to add more variety.

Sometimes wild fish won't find food that day! Its normal.

I feed usually 3 times a day. I have no particular routine other then feeding nori daily for the tangs. I have a variety of fish food that I give: flakes, pellets, fish frenzy, brine, Mysis, PE Calanus, and black worms. I try to mix it up so they are not always getting the same thing. I don't feed the same time of day and don't worry if I feed an extra feeding or skip one.

 

[Royce White]

I mix up a slurry of Brine,Mysis,blood worms and a chunk of LRS and feed two tsp. 2 times a day, this mixture last 3 days.

 

[BigKid4788]

I feed roughly 6-7 cubes per day, 1-2 sheets of nori per day. Fish include
Bandit angel, interuptus angel, goldflake angel, 5 anthias, chocolate tang, gem tang, flame wrasse, basslet, tailspot blenny.

 

[lostboyz]

I feed 2 times a day a mix of pellets, flakes and frozen mysis cubes. 3 clowns 4 chomis and a diamondback goby.

 

[WWIII]

I feed my fish 2x per day. A good sized chunk of LRS reef frenzy at both feedings and usually 1/4 to 1/2 sheet of nori in the evening. Sometimes I soak the evening meal in Selcon. Then about 2x per week I feed BRS reef chilli or a scoop of Reefroids. I have clowns, tangs, foxface, cardinals, and a wrasse.

 

[afuel]

Currently feeding twice a day. Mixture of Reef frenzy, San Fransico bay brine, mysis shrimp and a couple of Fauna Marine products soft spirulina and soft clownfish food. I’m working on a plan in my head to feed multiple times a day using combination of fish feeder for dry foods and a dosing pump for some liquid foods. I think the fish will be happy about it when I finish

 

[reefjunkie45]

I only feed once around 5 or 6 pm. Fish are healthy.

 

[Neo Jeo]

I feed every other day. This was advised by local reefers and pet stores. My fish have been fine for the past month. Based on what i'm reading every 2 days is not enough... I don't know if there is a definitive answer to this question.

 

[Labridaedicted]

The auto feeder does 7 mL mysis feast 3x per day, 2 mL R.O.E. 2x per day, oyster feast 2ml 2x per day (for corals mainly). Additionally. 1 sheer of nori every other day(ish) and I feed reef frenzy, live white worms, or baby brine (or a combo) about 3 additional times per day.

Moderate stock load with a pyramid butterfly, yellow blotch rabbit, Lineatus wrasse, mccoskers wrasse, pintail wrasse, 3x yellow line cardinal, 3 bar goby, rainfords goby, huge watchman goby, and a pinos hawk.

 

[Saltwaterfrenzy]

I feed mine 2-4 times a day, which consists of pellets, nori, mysis shrimp, spirulina, and black worms. Mix and match as necessary.

To me at least, It's not natural for fish to eat only every other day. Not on a constant basis. Feed a" little'" every day & watch your nutrient levels. I 'd think Your fish & corals would greatly improve for You.

 

[drblakjak55]

Wow, HB AL, 8 cubes of what a day???
Anyway, 90 g mixed reef, with softies and polyps that like seconds, a dozen fish plus five anthias.
Get mysis/spirulina flake by hand most mornings.
Auto feedings afternoon and evening of marine flake, spirulina pellets
Dried plankton by hand at night
Frozen mysis and home made stuff two to three times a week
No dosing other than half shot vodka a day. Socks and skimmer one side of sump. Chaeto, DC return pump and small bag charcoal on other. That’s all it takes to keep a tank real steady.
Forgot to mention I am the ATO daily bot and the 24g water change now at three weeks spacing.
