How often should I feed my new Clowns

[alexmginnis]

I just got two new percula clowns yesterday and was wondering how often I should feed them? There only about 1in long.

Thanks for any info you can give.

2-3 small feeding per day should be good. Feed frozen,live,flakes,etc. Dont just feed it the same food. It can get bored of it

I never feed my tanks more than every other day. Most fish do not need more than that. Feeding 2-3 times a day (As stated on many fish food containers) will only serve to pollute your tank faster.

The fish food companies want you to feed more so you buy more food.

Some fish (Including Anthias) need more feedings but 90% do not.

I feed upwards of five times day with a variety of frozen meaty based foods with some green added. I have 15 and ten gallon breeders packed with BTA's as well and have never had a problem with water quality and rarely do water changes. I test very often and change the water when any nitrate starts to creep up but have not had any problems.

IMHO the younger the fish, the more often it should be fed. Keep in mind this is very small portions throughout the day to keep a packed gut.

I feed my onyx once a day sometimes skipping a day.

I feed one cube of formula one mix of a stuff which feeds pretty much every1 in my tank.

I usually feed 1 to 2 times a day.
