How often do you feed your fish?

[DeniseAndy]

I would also make sure to add some food for the corals. Those LPS will want food. Phytoplankton, cyclops, rotifers. At least twice a week try to target feed. You will see much happier corals.

I feed flakes twice daily and feed frozen food either Rod's or 2 cubes of PE mysis on a daily basis. I have 9 smallish fish in a 75. I believe in feeding fish. We need to eat a few times a day, think of how it would be to eat only every other day...

Fish have a different digestive system than ours. Yeah it may seem cruel to skip a day because we would go hungry. Fish are not like humans they can tolerate one day and beyond.

Is nori some kind of pellet food?

Matthew:

Nori is a sheet of seaweed--comes in red, green, brown. You can get it cheap at an Asian Grocery or pay more at Petsmart: they have it.

 

[Stanley-Reefer]

A mix of pellets at 530pm...NLS--3 diff sizes, ON form 1-2, Hikari A, and a pinch of freeze dried cyclpeeze

8pm is frozen dinner time. I alternate one kind each night--Roggers, Rods, pe mysis, H20 form 2/50-50/and marine cuisine, ON form 2 rdf, brine plus, and reef cuisine.

2x/wk I do a mixed clip of red, green, brown seaweed selects in both tanks

I alternate Coral Accel, RN oyster feast, and coral frenzy 1-2x/wk

All food last at the longes 40 seconds--if you add more they just eat faster

Ah I see.. pretty much the three types of algae. I don't have any fish that would require seaweed as a food source.

My fish
2 - 4 year old mated Clowns
1 - Hippo Tang
1 - 6 Line Wrasse
1 - Fox Face
1 - Royal Gramma
1 - Flame Angel
1 - Coral Beauty
1 - Blue Fin Damsel
2 - Brittles
1 - Small Sea Star.

Many crabs and snails and corals.

I feed them one cube of green Mysis and the other is a mixed cube of all types of stuff.

That food usually is gone with the quickness as I only feed them at like 8:30PM and after that I put in the tank 2 strips off an algae sheet and usually they finish it off by morning.

When the cubes go it, everything starts moving.

Oh yeah I have two cleaner shrimp.

I always thought 2 cubes were too much but I know the other CUC inhabitants clean up a lot of stuff.

NLS pellets, homemade frozen, PE mysis. (variety is key)

Naso tang
2 Butterfly
2 pygmy angels

I feed about 6 cubes a day of frozen, a mixture of Hikari mysis/brine and then an angel/butterfly blend. Also mix in flake and pellets 1-2 times a day.

Nice arrangement of fish. I always wanted a Naso Tang but don't have the requirements to house it.
