Nemo Feeding

[cdmsoc6]

As I watch my two nemo's swim around the tank it seems like they are always looking for food. I currently feed then once a day.

What should I do? Feed them more?

I am not sure how much to feed them but I don't want to over feed them either.

I current feed them Hikari Tropical Marine Marine A and brine shrimp. One day marine A food then the next day brine shrimp. Should I rethink this cycle?

Help!!!

Are these percula or ocellaris? Once a day is fine but even some people say thats overfeeding. They probably are munching on pods they find in the tank if you have any. Some people feed their anemonefish small meals, two or three times daily. I don't know how they do that without having algae problems.

They are ocellaris. I know before I put the nemo's in the tank I had pretty many pods. Should i only feed then every other day? How much do you feed them in a given time period. I feel it is hard for them to see the food because the power heads blow it all around.

I sold my ocellaris last month, but when I had them I fed them once every other day. I use to feed them every day two or three times a day but then I had bad algae problems. When I feed my Chrysopterus clowns I pause the wave box to make sure they get all the food and it doesn't float away. When I had powerheads in the tank I had them all connected to one power strip so I could turn the powerheads off while feeding the fish. Just don't forget to turn the powerheads back on. The wavebox I have has a pause button, so after a few minutes it starts back up again. If you don't have a good supply of pods then its probably best you feed them once every day.
