How often do you feed your fish????

Just wondering how often do you feed your fish?
(Example once a day, twice a day, or once a week?)

I feed my fish once a week...But I am starting to believe that they might need more.

Ii feed mine mostly everyday. Sometimes a skip a day or two if I'm super busy. And sometimes if I'm home a lot in a day, I might feed multi times a day (flake AM and frozen PM). But it usually evens out to 5 out of 7 days they get fed.
Depends on what type and how many fish you have.

+1 on what kind of fish you have...

My mandarin likes/needs to be spot fed everyday, while my chromis could go a few days without it. Ive left the tank for 5 days when I was taking finals, and the fish ate the pods and whatever else is in the tank. I dont reccomend that in the long-term.

once a day,and occasionally skip a day

 

[Jim Tansey]

Three times a day.

[kenn157]

every other day.

 

[SMS76]

Two times a day and mostly frozen food as few of my fish won't even touch flake food.

Feed the fish? The only fish in my tank are Finding Nemo toys from McDonalds and they never seem to get hungry.

I feed pellets in the morning and frozen goo in the evening, almost everyday. Occassionally I'll just feed goo if we're out for a day, or I'll just feed pellets in a auto-feeder if I'm away for a couple days.

Every other day. I have two false percs and a shrimp goby.

Also it matters how much do you feed? You can feed multiple times a day if you feed less per feeding etc...

 

[denvig]

I usually feed a little flake as soon as I get home from work and then a little later I feed some type of frozen, Goo, formula one or two, Mysis etc. I also hang some Nori two or three times a week.

I feed my Hippo Tang, Copperband and maroon clown once during the evening everyday. The way they act at feeding time you may would think they are starved. I can't imagine skipping a day or two.

I feed my two percs,bristletooth tang and my lawnmower blenny 2-3 times a week.

 

[TheUltimateNoob]

wow. once a week? i don't think i could do that. i would think my fish would starve.

every time i go to the tank they want to eat. i do once a day, skipping a day every once in a while when i'm really busy.

 

[Kevin McG]

I feed about every other day mysis & brine. I feed a small amount of flake & pellets on the days I don't feed the other foods. Hanging nori I think is important a couple to a few days a week, all my fish love it.

I have the following in my 180 gallon

Flame Hawkfish
Solorensis wrasse
Candy hogfish
False percula
2 Scooter blennies
2 Green chromis
Vlamingi unicorn tang
Six line wrasse
Royal gamma
Watchman goby

Like I said, at my house we eat three times a day.

OK, Now that I got a great responce from this post, do any of you have any problems with hair/cyno or any other type of algae?


I have always been worried about this when it comes to feeding.
