Should I be feeding more?

[psilentchild]

How much are some of you all feeding?I feed 5 San Francisco Bay cubes a day.I have a black trigger,yellow tang,vlamingii tang,two barred rabbitfish,magnificent rabbitfish,coral beauty,bicolor angel,annularis angel and a flame angel.I feel like I should be feeding more and some other kind of food

I feed twice a day, but only 3 minutes at a time and only enough food so that they eat it before it hits the bottom of the tank or at least most of it. Power heads off. You do need to mix it up, with the angels i would also feed a well rounded frozen like Rod's or Ocean nutrition Omnivore that has some algae in it.

perhaps some NLS pellets for a broad range of nutritional value.

Are your fish skinny? There isn't any hard and fast rule. So many variables. Two reasons to up your feeding would be skinny fish and undo aggression. A reason to feed less would be excessive algae growth or other symptoms of high nutrient levels. Use your eyes, your brain and your good sense and you'll know how much to feed your fish.

I don't think that's such a great idea because I could imagine your fish getting hooked on the frozen and not being interested in the dry when that month comes around. I would feed a variety of food daily.

And tell your brain to take a chill pill. :twitch: You're way over thinking this. :wave:

If your fish are fat and your water params are good, then I don't see any probs. I would divide the feeding into at least twice a day.

I hope you don't mind my side tracking a bit, there aren't that many people with bicolors. May I ask how long you've had him and what you attribute your success to?
