How often do you feed your fish?

[Analog Saint]

Green Severum: 3x a day- none of the food EVER goes uneaten... He's grown quite a bit fom when I got him. He loves blood worms, spirulina flakes, betta bits, and will even try and eat the plec's algae wafers. He's got stunning colouration, so I'm pretty sure he's fine nutritionwise.

2 Bristlenose Plecos: 1 hikari algae wafer each nightly.
6 Cories & couple ghost shrimp: 3 hikari sinking wafers, because the Paradise and Pleco mooch off my little guys.
Paradise Fish: 2x a day, usually a mixture of betta bits and spirulina algae flakes.
Betta: Betta bits, and the occasional bloodworms.
6 (or so) Tiny Snails: I guess they're mooching and probably eating the plants as well. Little freeloaders hitched a ride with my order of ghost shrimp.

All it takes is one comment on an archived document and it is back to the front of the line to be rediscovered.

1-2 times a day

I feed my Tiger Barbs once a day in the morning when I turn the light on, they all go crazy and come to the surface waiting for the food, they know whats up

I found it by voting on the main page that pulled up the survey! :rant: to these old posts!

I feed mine every day or every other day it just depends. I have even gone a couple days without feeding them. When I do feed them I rotate between fish flakes, frozen mosquito larvae and bloodworms, live brine shrimp, vegetables, and algae wafers.

I feed my fish once a day at night. I used to feed them twice a day, but now I'm pretty lazy, but once a day is fine I think. I once in a while skip a day, but mostly I am consistent. Like someone has mentioned, fish get to eat only once every few days in the wild, so they are still get fed better in captivity.

knowing when it's time to eat

I feed mine twice a day. when your near your tank, when you're not feeding them, do your fish swim to the side of the tank your near? i always see my fish close to me. they always seem to expect to eat
20g: 2 mollies, 1 swordtail, 2 cories, 1 ghost shrimp, 1 otto, 1 tiger barb, 1 black skirt tetra, 2 tinfoil(i think) tetras, 1 gourami

Once a day, sometimes algae wafers or shrimp pellets at night. One or two days a week fasting.
