How often?

[Raphael]

I currntly have a Royal Gramma and False Percula. I am feeding them 3 times a day, is this the right amount of times I should be feeding them?

I only feed once a day or every other day. Helps with the nitrate problem that you may get with over feeding. It also depends on how much you are feeding and what.

Today I got a new False Percula so I will be feeding more. I will feed roughly 1-2 flakes of New Era Aquaculture food. How often?

it depends on what you want to do. Once a day or every other day will be adequate to keep them alive. 3 or more times a day is more of a diet you might use to get them spawning. Always feed as much food as they'll take in 5 minutes with as little waste as possible. It is also best to provide a varied diet or flakes and frozen foods. I use all of the following in a random rotation: 2 different home made frozen foods, prime reef flakes, formula 1 flakes, live brine and frozen mysis.

It is important that you skim well and test your water regularly to keep nitrates in check as pooh mentioned.

Thank You. Can someone please tell me datailed explanations on how to tell the difference between true and false? Also is this true or false?

I have another one that I bought today that I am not sure if it is true or false. I am trying to get a decent photo.
