How much and how often to feed ?

[Johnic]

I currently have a FO tank and I feed them when I get home from work at night. Should I be feeding them more often, like 2 more times with auto feeder or is once with frozen foods at night ok ?

Some fish need to be feed daily, others twice a day. Best to search for your fish on Liveaquaria and read the notes on what you have.

Thanks

[nmprisons]

totally depends on what fish you are keeping.

Tangs and Angels

Tangs and angels are grazers, they need to be fed often. I leave a sheet of nori in the tank all day for my angels and offer them meaty food once a day.

Gotcha, I was going to buy a auto feeder and use "Spectrum Pellets" and feed twice a day on pellets and frozine tonight. Have you ever heard of New Life Spectrum marine pellets" ?

As long as each feeding is small that sounds good to me. I'd also add seaweed to the mix -- these fish need their veggies. You can get sheets of sushi nori for a few dollars at some grocery and most health food stores, or buy Sea Veggies (same thing, just more expensive) at the LFS. I use a clip that's epoxied to a MagFloat, the suction cups nori clips typically come with don't usually last long.

I've got an autofeeder that feeds at exactly the same time every day up to 4x a day and has a power cord. Its a very nice unit. I got it from Premium aquatics. It was around 50 bux

I feed my fish 2x /day with it. I like using the feeder so I don't forget to do it. Just fill it up once every week or so and forget it.
