How often do you feed your fish?

[Sumpin'fishy]

Once a day, with Sunday fasting.....cause mine are so super-spiritual!!!

Monday: Hikari Pellets (staple or gold)
Tuesday: Bloodworms/krill (frozen)
Wednesday: Hikari Pellets (staple or gold)
Thursday: Bloodworms/krill (frozen) -or- Ghost shrimp
(I alternate weeks between the two)
Friday: Hikari Pellets (staple or gold)
Saturday: Wardley premium cichlid flakes
Sunday: ******Fast******

I used to feed twice a day, and I used to feed flakes more often. My Blackbelt and Jack Dempsey make too much of a mess with the flakes, and I have had planarian problems. I now feed once a day and only give them flakes once a week (they love these flakes though) Eat out of my hand every time. They even recognize the can the flakes are in and get REAL excited. They aren't real big on the Hikari staple though! Seem to like the Hikari gold better.

once a day, and it depends on what time i go near the tank, they never eat at the same time. also with one day of now food at random.

It depends on the fish - schoolers once daily, with fast days; mature predators every second or third day; fry get more than one meal daily.

I've only ever fed mine once, but then again I only bought them today

Flakes twice a day (either Tetramin or algae flakes), and one and a half algae wafers at night. Sometimes I give them frozen shrimp for an afternoon feeding instead of the flakes.

I feed bubba several times a day.(bubba is my oscar) A couple times a day I give him about 10 mini hakari pellets. Then I try to hand tame him and give him a few large pellets when ever I feal like it. Then at night I put in soem flakes for the shark and pleco and also wafers for the pleco.

The babies get fed every day, the adults every other day.

There is no option for never feed fish or only feed when feel like it,that's what i do,my dad feed the fish.

I love watching my fish eat... I love watching them so much that I feed them almost everytime I pass my tank...
very... very little...
so I feed them about 5 times a day...
very little each time...
mostly flakes... some worms, daphnia and shrimp once a week...
