Do you feed your fish every day ?

[George Bennett]

What’s your timing guys do you feed your fish everyday ?

[Alex Litvin]

I feed them randomly really. what about you ?

[George Bennett]

@alex
I tend to feed my fish every other day unless I am going away, in which case I feed them daily for a week then clean up the tank and leave them for upto 4days.

Mbuna cichlids. Feed twice a day, very small portions. Starve them on Monday’s.

@william

Why do you feed them twice a day and then starve them one day?

[William Buckley]

@george

They would rarely ask for food when I would approach the tank. Now every time I come up they get excited and think it’s feeding time

@william
It’s good to starve Mbuna for one day of the week to help their digestive system catch up to all the feeding throughout the week.

My discus get fed four times a day, the neons once and the shrimp every two days or so.

[George Bennett]

Yeah my discus get fed at least 3 times a day. Everything else in my tank pretty much gets the discus’ scraps.

Is there a reason discus need to eat more often?
