Recently purchased a red acan and a green acan. How often should they eat? Im feeding them mysis and they seem to like it.

feed twice a week and try not to overdo it because they are animals and thier waste goes into your tank so be carefull.

They say on average the twice a week feeding is a good practice.

If you feed your LPS too much or too often, the food might start to rot in their stomach. That's also a reason why it is better to feed small pieces at a time for easier digestion.

They've got to be able to get the food in, digest it, and get the waste out before it causes a problem.
