HOW OFTEN DO YOU FEED YOUR FISH?

mike werner · Apr 23, 2018

I WOULD LIKE TO START A POLE ON THIS SUBJECT BUT I DON'T THINK I HAVE THE ATHORITY. i'm glad I don't cause i'd probably abuse the privilege

once a day
2 times a day
3 times a day or more (me)
once a week
never
I have no fish

I hear so many different opinions on this but I would love to see some member stats.

Ever other day

lagatbezan · Apr 23, 2018

2x a day.

Sushitheshiba · Apr 23, 2018

I think it depends on what kind of fishes you have (hyper vs lazy). I personally feed twice a day.

iemsparticus · Apr 23, 2018

I feed mine once a day. It certainly depends on what fish you have.

ZaneTer · Apr 23, 2018

Minimum of 4 times per day plus whatever else I decide to throw in the tank.

tdileo · Apr 23, 2018

Usually twice a day of flake, pellet, or frozen and in addition a clip of nori.

mckinney0171 · Apr 23, 2018

Three times autofeeder and then frozen in the evening.

JDowns · Apr 23, 2018

Three times a day frozen for the fish and once a day Reef Roids / Oyster Feast for the corals. Once a week at lights out I feed meaty foods to the larger corals.

10 Anthias
1 Blenny
2 Gobies

2 Cardinals
2 Chromis

2-3x a day.

Syed123 · Apr 23, 2018

2 times a day minimum. 3 times maximum. I really need to feed as my fish love to eat (typically will be at the cusp of exploding from overeating) plus it keeps aggression down between them.

Kmsutows · Apr 23, 2018

This was a poll fairly recently. I feed at least 4-5 times a day

Js.Aqua.Project · Apr 23, 2018

6 times/day
Morning: ROE
Day: AFS 3xs (TDO pellets)
Evening 1 (usually 6-7ish): Frozen Mysis
Evening 2 (usually 9-10ish): Oyster Feast, Phyto-Feast, and Reef Energy A&B

ca1ore · Apr 23, 2018

4-5 x per day

2 times a day. Domino damsels, indigo dottyback, bicolor blenny, pink spotted goby,

madweazl · Apr 23, 2018

I see a few mentions of "it depends on the fish" but I wonder, does it really? If the fish could eat more often, wouldnt they? Grazers and predators certainly have different habits but they also have significantly different sized meals as well.

My schedule
10-11am (lights on) - LRS Reef and Herbivore Frenzy
4pm - SeaVeggies on a clip
8-9pm - LRS Reef and Herbivore Frenzy

Found some Reef Roids at the bottom of a shipping box while we were packing for the move a few weeks ago so I've added 1-3tsp once a week, the past three weeks.
