How Many Times To Feed?

[cichlid-mom]

Hey guys & gals, how many times are you supposed to feed your cichlids a day?

Thanks!

I feed mine 1-2 times a day, only what they probably finish in like 45 seconds

I feed mine once a day, but twice a day is fine also

My cichlids get a morning feeding and the plecos & cats get fed @ night after lights out.

it depends on the type of cichlids and how old they are.
Vegetarian cichlids should be fed several times a day.
Carnivorous cichlids can be fed once a day or once every couple of days for big fish.
Baby fish should be fed 3 or more times a day so they always have fat bellies.

I feed my fish (which are a mix of adult and juvie mbuna) once or twice a day, usually morning and late teatime. If i feed them Euro Shrimp Mix or Shrimp/daphnia ect, then once a day. If i feed them Flakes/Pellets ect, then once in a morning and once late teatime. If i feed them Fresh Veg, it usually gets left in ther for the day, about 9-12hrs.
