I only ever fed mine once every other day....

You have to think sometimes about the natural habitat they live in...there is not always going to be a meal on a plate out in the ocean, some goes for days before finding their next meal...

Can't vote, when I use probably all those listed. It varies on whether it is a fry tank, grow out, activity, or a dozen other issues.
 
Between 1-2 times a day,,,, 3 times for the fry...the name or the thread is intresting...:)

....yes, I never substitue fish food for gravel...none of my fish will eat gravel, play with it, but usually spit it back out...
 
:grinyes:
 
argh.. this keeps happening.

anybody know where the original thread is?
 
It generally happens when copying a thread with a poll....or it could have something to do with the upgrade and small downtine this morning.
 
usually 3 for me, i think what niko said is true, but i also want my smaller predator fish to be able to grow to full size quicker, and also live a more healthy live that the vitamins and what not in food provide them with.

Usually they get two different types of frozen food in a day, and one type of dry food, but the dry food varies too. I think i may look into making a staple frozen food, made mostly out of fresh seafood, with added vitamins and what not.

Does anyone have a good recipe for this?

EDIT: just so everyone knows, all the fish are carnivores or omnivores that i would want this frozen staple for.
