Feeding Time

[Behold]

Just to get some ideas on feeding habbits to help me ans others out.

 

[chr15_8]

carnt enter the pole as the second pole dont apply to me and wont let me vote in one only anyway

for my planted tank (neons, corys, kuhli loaches, sae, ottos + few more)
bloodworm 6 days a week and 1 day of live food

celestrial pearly danio/galaxy rasbora's
live food all the time (wont eat anything else)

Well it depends on the fish: what species they are, how big they are, the age of them etc. I feed fry multiple times a day whereas I feed others a few times a week.

As for the second part of the survey, I feed a lot of different foods which do I vote for?

Its multible choice to see what seems more popular. more of a guid on buying than a set in stone way of life.

 

[lilfishie]

i feed every other day, varying between flake, pellets, peas and frozen bloodworm HTH

 

[rowdyburns21]

Theres nothing in the poll for live food

No there isn't, and there is no multiple choice. Anyway, adult angels get fed twice daily, one feeding of flakes or pellets, one feeding of frozen brineshrimp, frozen bloodworms, or live blackworms. Fry older than a few weeks get fed twice daily, one feeding of live bbs, one of live blackworms if they are old enough, or finely crushed flake if they are smaller. Younger fry get fresh bbs 3 times daily, with a little finely crushed flake as they get a little bigger. Every evening the plecs get either spirulina tabs or veggie pellets, in addition to whatever hits the bottom from the rest of the fish not eating.

 

[kribensis12]

feed adults 2-3 times a day, variety of flake, and pellets. Fry whenever i'm around( i was told they eat enough for 20 mins?.

 

[dthoffsett]

For me it depends on the tank, I generally feed twice a day and fast one day a week.

Betta tank: they get pellets and the occasional pea.

Community tank, danios, rasboras, tetras, platties, cories, and shrimp: They get a rotation of flake, pellets, bottom feeder discs and shrimp pellets, and the occasional frozen daphnia or brine shrimp.

Mbuna tank: They get a rotation of cichlid pellets, soft veggie pellets, color enhancing pellets, and a homemade mixture of spirulina-HBH African Cichlid Attack-Cyclopeeze. They also get occasional fresh veggies and frozen daphnia or brine shrimp.

 

[GuppyDude]

I feed my puffer 3 times a day; sparingly.

And my guppys twice a day.

 

[PRW1988]

I personally feed my guys once a day, and only a little bit of flakes, along with some shrimp pellets and algea waffers for my bottom dwelers, and sometimes if I think my fish have been well behaved (lol) I'll add in some freeze dried or frozen blood worms

 

[Paul_MTS]

Every 2-3 days and they get a variety of frozen foods.

Well I said three but it isn't always. I do a morning feed and then sometimes around 18:00 but not always - it depends how 'enthusiastic' they are I can generally judge when they are eating for eatings sake or are hungry.

I drop some tabs and algae wafers in at night before bed for the nocturnals and sometimes some catfish pellets.

Fraid I am guilty of overfeeding a little, I don't agree with the 'all they can eat in 2 minutes' nonsense - some fish are more enthusiastic than others, the fish welfare comes first before my need not to clean up, if I need to vacuum some out then so be it and the algae eaters manage the green stuff so it helps them too - better a satisfied and full grown fish than hungry stunted ones - and I think more people stunt their fish by improper or underfeeding than because of the tank size.

 

[MojoDex]

all depends which tank they all have different regimes but non the less they all still beg like puppies

I kinda stick to it but the way i see it if your tank can't cope with a little over feed then its not cycled.

I leave wafers and fresh food for about 2-3 hours before removing.
