| Sometimes I feed them once a day and sometimes twice a day  Just depends on how much time I have, whether I'm trying to condition them to breed or... how much they beg

| I marked once a day because that is what I do with my community planted tank. I have always fed my clown knife once a week. Sometimes I do more but this is the general Practice. |

| For me, it's usually once or twice a day, depending. I like feeding small meals multiple times, I feel it helps balance their diets. (: |

I feed mine once per day, sometimes skipping a day on accident. |

| Are we talking natural food? or store bought food?
Actually, my goldfish get fed when I want to give them a treat or check on them or if my nieces or nephews are here and want to see them. Otherwise, they eat the algae in the pond. My Mom has lately been feeding them about once or twice a week. My cleanup crew that is in the house right now has a rock covered with algae and a bunch of snails, so they have natural food available 24/7. I put in a pellet or wafer if I want to sit and watch them. They sorta ignore the wafers, altho they like the complete bottom feeder pellets that I put in and the shrimp pellets. The moss on the rock is disappearing rather quickly, and the snails keep going away too... |

| I feed my fish all different times. My puffer/eel tank I feel usually in the late evening and then about 8 minutes later I turn off the lights for the night so my eels can eat. Sometimes I feed that tank twice a day. My other tank with my firemouth and sunfish I feed about 2 or 3 times a day, small amounts at a time, my bettas I usually feed once a day and my pond fish once about every two days during this time of the year since its cooler and they are slower. (LOL i put once a week , I didn't mean to click that!!!) |
