feeding fish

[lee8040]

i did a search but couldnt see anything in there

how often do you lot feed your fish?

 

[BigC]

Once/Twice for Adults
Twice for Juveniles
Three times for fry.

It all depends on what you keep too, i keep mainly large/predatory fish and only feed adults twice a week.

Once a day is fine for the more conventional fish apart from fry and juviniles which should be fed two to three times a day.

at the momment theres 3 guppies and 4 neon tetras

I must admit i feed mine 2 or 3 times a day.
They are adult parrotfish, silver dollars, goldfish, gouramis, corys, 2 loaches and 2 plecs.
Am i feeding them too much?
My 10g gets fed 3 times too, which holds guppies, neons, glowlights, corys and 2 loaches.
Is it too much too?

IMHO yes it is, once a day for tropicals and once every
other day for goldfish would be a good regime.

All my fish are fed once a day with a day missed in 7;
in other words feed 6 days a week.

I feed my reedfish every other day!

 

[IMCL85]

minimum once daily. Loaches = 2 for me.

I feed my livebearer tank (guppies and platies+ fry) twice a day; the cories I'm beginning to feed less frequently.
Think it depends on species; guppies have a small stomach so get hungry again very quickly, larger predators probably don't expect to eat very often at all.
I'm counting on the fry finding extra food from the plants to make up for the third meal; otherwise I'd be worried about overfeeding the adults.

LOL, Thanks Wolf, i think i will start cutting down then.
Once a day it is now. I dont want fat fish.

Usually every 3 days for me, sometimes only twice a week.
