Yeo Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 hey guys... would like to find out many times would you feed your fishes daily? how many times do you count it as "over-feeding"? my heart tend to go soft whenever i see my fishes "always being hungry"... haha... i've to control myself... currently i'm feeding about 3times a day... how about the majority of us out there??? kindly enlighten me.. haha.. <img src="http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stuart.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="stuart.gif" /> Twice a day is more than enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Ketchup Posted December 9, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted December 9, 2011 How many times really depends on what fishes you keep and how matured your tank is.. if tank is very matured, full of pods etc... even dont feed for a few days still ok.. Also, if have mainly algae grazer, your dirty algaed wall is also their food source... as well as algae on your rocks. For anthias etc, they requires more frequent feeding.. but generally I think twice a day is good enough. You can always throw in a little extra, be it mysis, brine, coral food or henry's gourmet etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member domvonn Posted April 23, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted April 23, 2013 Twice a day for me and each feed lasts less than 2 mins . Usually all fish gets to eat . Weekends will feed more intervals as have more time at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member kenyee Posted December 6, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted December 6, 2013 Feed more feed less is up to individual..as long as ur water dun get cloudy due to uneaten food will do..feeding ur fishes is a pleasure to do n watch..if u want ur fish to grow big n fat, must feed more..no feed or feed less fish will grow big n fat?..Hmm.. For me, my auto feeder feed twice a day, 3pm n 8pm.. I will feed mysis n brine or seaweed whenever I feel like feeding.. Wanted my fishes to grow big big..heez in the wild, no one will know if the fish got keep eating 24/7 or eat very full or eat little or Nber eat..Coz we can't read the fish's mind and the fish can't talk to tell us..the best gauge I think will b if the fish is big n fat, mean it eat alot..same as human..we r all living creatures in the world.. 不吃的人有肥的吗?只有皮包骨。 Quote @ 291213 Updated video: Kenyee FOWLR http://m.youtube.com/my_videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
