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. :)

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。
