Fasting or No Fasting

I think its a good idea for any fish. It reduces the possibility of overfeeding and, related to that, it reduces the amount of waste (both fish waste and decaying food) in the tank. I find it also makes my fish scavenge for food a little more.

i will fast my fish for several days at a time (2-3 days)because i feed 2 much. and during that time i usually will do a couple water changes during those days. the only tank that i dont fast is my 2 10 gallons because i only have bettas in there.*at least for now *

Fasting fish once a week is a good idea especially if you feed flake or pellet food. This sometimes takes longer for them to digest and they'll just keep eating. Giving them a day to clear out their digestive system will help keep them healthy.

The only fish I do not fast one day a week are the ones I'm conditioning to breed. And they mostly get frozen foods so there is less chance of digestive clogging.

Yeah, fasting any fish is a good idea......

well good luck,your gonna need it. it is so hard to ignore those little faces they make at you bagging for food.

I feed 3 times a week. I oversees so algae can grow for my shrimp and otos
