How often do you feed your fish?

[robertfah]

I know this is a loaded question depending upon tank size and inhibitants, but I thought it would be neat to see how often people are feeding their fish.

 

[robertfah]

The last option is supposed to be greater than 4x a day.

 

[Hara]

ALot of people do not feed every day and that option isnt there...I feed every other day.

 

[Brenden]

Where is the every other day option? It will get more votes than any you have listed.

 

[Brenden]

Hara beat me by a few seconds.

 

[tripper]

I feed every other day . . . and sometimes once every third day. All my fish seem very happy with this schedule.

 

[robertfah]

Ok, so make the last option every other day.

I've tried to feed my fish every other day and I find my Tangs get really skinny. They seem content if I feed them every day, so I've been sticking with that schedule.

I voted in GT4 assuming that was replaced by every other day. I don't consider Nori "feeding my fish". General population gets every other day. The tangs I keep fat.

I also voted for GT4 (Every other day) All my fish seem very content with this feeding schedule...

I don't consider Nori "feeding my fish".

I feel the same way. I feed seaweed everyday, primarily for my tang, and meaty foods every other day.

 

[lando]

I feed every two or three days.

 

[hackteck]

i feed every other day

Voted for every other day here..

It looks like it`s every other day for all but one and that one should do the same. Get some nori or calerpa or seaweed selects for your tang and he`ll be just fine. The people that answered No.1,2 or 3 either do have algea problems or soon will.

I Feed mine every other day.

same here

 

[JPloman]

I feed every three days.

 

[neilster1]

every two or three days.. alternate between emrald entree and mysis shrimp. Occasionally I hatch brine shrimp and feed those.. tank really goes nuts!

 

[bromion]

I feed daily, but I mix it up quite a bit. Every 3 days they get a fresh seafood cocktail, and in between small amounts of flake or pellet food. It seems that anything the fishes don't eat is taken care of by shrimp, crabs, and worms.

fresh seafood cocktail

This makes me wonder about feeding fish actual shrimp, like I would eat, in my shrimp cocktail. Cut up into tiny pieces, I wonder if they'd enjoy it... sure it'd cost more and be a pain, but regardless.

I voted every other day, although I tend to be fairly irregular with my feedings - I'm working on that.

I had been dutifully feeding daily, but soon enough I had to start scrubbing algae off the glass w/ every pwc, so I don't do that anymore. :x
