What do you feed and how often?

[Daniel@R2R Verified Admin]

Tell us about your feeding regimen. What do you feed and how often?

I feed daily...

- a sheet of nori
- EITHER an EasyReefs masstick OR TDO pellets by Reef Nutrition

 

[Billldg]

I feed 2 1/4 sheets of Nori daily and 3 cubes of frozen soaked in Selcon daily.

I buy the bulk pack of 2 Little Fishes Nori sheets and cut them into 1/4 sheets, which is the same as what you get in the smaller packs.

My little 20gal needs some nori for my LMB and gutloaded brine for my clowns a little 3 times per day

 

[Flippers4pups]

A pinch of flake when I get home, later some LRS reef frenzy everyday. Once a week Nori.

I have seen many articles on this topic, as well as many opinions. I get used to feeding my goldfish twice a day: in the morning before work and the evening before sleep. That is how I know I didn`t forget the feeding. I have never thought about how much is enough; I just give a drib. Also here is the article on this topic with useful info about this - https://thepets.net/how-often-to-feed-fish/

 

[Super Fly]

have 93 cube, feed LRS Reef Frenzy in the morning and pellets in late afternoon via auto feeder. 1/4 sheet of Nori once a week and once a month caulerpa from sump.

I feed live baby and adult brine shrimp, I raise my own which is gut loaded all day with spirulina, every other day. One the opposite days I feed frozen mysis or frozen ova. I know they probably would like more food on a daily basis but I'm fighting phosphate so that's all they get. It's fun to watch the corals gather up the adult brine shrimp.

 

[mike550]

120G with 8 fish. Two frozen cubes or a “chunk” of Rods Food. Small sheet of nori every few days. Feed my BTA a piece of shrimp every few days.

 

[ReefBeta]

I feed frozen in the after breakfast and after dinner, about a half inch cube each time. Types depends on what I have at hand. Currently running Rod's, LFS, and DIY from BRS formula. Just randomly pick one.

Sometimes I drop some flakes after lunch. At night occasionally I broadcast feed some coral food. Currently using brightwell reef blizzard S.

 

[JustJoan]

Once a day in the morning, frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp. Corals every other day, BRS Reef Chili. about 1/8 sheet of nori about 1 inch by 2 inches every other day.

 

[LeftyReefer]

I feed pellets once per day, either TDO or Mypisces pellets when I get home from work.
Not all my fish eat pellets though...
Later in the evening, I feed a bit of frozen, which every fish feasts on.
For frozen I rotate between Rods, Ocean Nutrition Formula One, and Omega One brine/mysis shrimp. I also cut up frozen raw shrimp for my Nem.

I only have a small tank, with a few small fish, so one frozen cube will last me all week cutting a little pc off each day.

 

[rknapp]

9 fish in a 160. Feed once per day and rotate between flake, TDO pellets and frozen which is a bit of carnivore Marine Cuisine and Ocean Nutrition Formula Two, depending on the day. Fish seem fat and happy.

 

[Doh Boy]

What don’t I feed would be an easier question for me!
I try to vary my fishes diet. I feed live brine, baby brine, black worms, LRS frozen, pellets of all sorts, oyster eggs, R. O. E. ( real oceanic eggs), fish eggs, frozen mysis, frozen brine, frozen plankton, Calanus and krill. Also feed spirulina krill flakes,BRS freeze dried brine and some omega one pellets. WHEW!!!!!!!

 

[Kryptonian]

Breakfast - LRS Reef Frenzy + Bloodworms every other day
Lunch - Hikari Mega Marine Angel and Hikari Mega Marine Algae (half cube of each)
Afternoon snack - Nori, Julian Springs Sea Veggies (switch each day purple or green)
Dinner rotates around between half shell clams + LRS Reef Frenzy + Bloodworms + Brine shrimp
Anemones get LRS Reef Frenzy once a week and half of a silverside once a week.
Crush algae wafers and a couple pellets at night twice a week that the CUC scrambles around to eat.

You are going to Have tell us how you get the baby brine to live past a week. I’ve tried twice now and they seem to disappear after a week.

 

[SmugglersReef]

100 gallon, mixed reef with 9 fish. They get fed once a day and a few nights a week they get 1/4 sheet nori. I do feed them heavy for like 10 minutes though, new life spectrum pellets, ocean nutrition formula two pellets and flakes and frozen mysis shrimp. They all have good appetites and gobble up the food. A few probably need to go on a diet. LOL
