How often do you feed your clowns?!

[Conski]

I just knoticed mine are kinda plump, i feed them everyday at 5 or 6 o clock.

i vary their diet between frozen mysis one day, brine the next, then Omega one marine flakes the next then repeat the cycle.

Ive heard brine shrimp has no nutritional value to clowns and can actually be addicting to them, making them only eat brine and nothing else.

I think im gonna start feeding them every other day or the three days on the cyclle (with something else instead of brine and save that as a treat for um) and one day off from feeding.

Let me know what ya think and how you guys feed yours!

I like your pic. Is that that guy that stabbed the betta? Anyway, I am a freshie but I thought taht you fed clowns all sorts of food and they accept everything.

Well my clown got fed when ever the other fish got fed which was twice and day. Once in the morning and night. They got fed small amounts of flake and brine in the morning and mysis at night.

Our reef tanks (clowns in all of them) get fed at most once a day, with 3 - 4 times a week being much more common. This is in addition to the nori that goes in the tank for the tangs, which I'm certain I've seen the clowns eat some of.

yea i definitly think im going to be only feeding 4 times a week now, i think im spoiling mine and the fact that im putting crap in the tank so much is probably not good for the water condition

I feed my tank 2-3 times a week. They get frozen twice and hikari s pellets once if I remember. I have 2 black clowns, a skunk clown, a flame angel, 2 green chromis, and an algae blenny. I take one cube from a mix with either brine, mysis, krill, or squid. I give them roughly half and save the other half for after lights out so my acans get some food.
