Overfeeding Clownfish?

[archndevil]

ok...my clown (crusty the clown) loves to eat...i think he will eat all day long if he wants. Can he die from overfeeding? Thanks....

Hey, krusty is my maroons name(after he bit me a few times!)
Fish will pretty much eat what you give them, so don't overfeed.
I do once a day, what can be consumed within a minute or two and that's it.
Some feed every other day.
Important to keep waste down in that nano.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but I have a pair of 2 False Percs, sould I be feeding them one day?

ok depends on setup and what you want your clowns to do?(breed)

for breeding 3x a day feeding are good but only what they will eat in a few minutes.

for a medium to large reef feeding once everyday will be fine, for smaller tanks once every other day would be best.

in reefs they will be able to scavenge, but make sure you are offering them a high quality varied diet.
