Feedings

I was just wondering how often you feed your pride and joys!

I feed mine twice a day...8am and 8:30 pm.

Twice a day. Just flakes in the a.m. and a bigger feeding (flakes, pellets, worms, rotating variety) in the evening when I have more time to watch them.

I usually feed them twice a day, flakes in the morning and a bit of flakes and bloodworms/ daphnia/ tubiflex.
I feed my fry four times a day.

I feed mine 2 times a day, when I eat breakfast and when I eat dinner. But of course I would feed them if I miss my own meals.

I voted once a day, but I vary. My 10g I feed once a day because there's only one cory right now (1/4 a hikari bottom feeder wafer), and I feed my bettas once or twice a day. Everyone has great colors and acts very healthy (better than when I fed more), so I'm pretty satisfied with my schedule.

Fry I try to at least feed twice daily.
All other tanks 2-4 times per week.

Good morning. I've recently changed from feeding twice a day to once a day. There was just too much food and waste accumulating in my river rock and I felt it was necessary to cut back. (as I discovered while vacuuming the tank) The fish are all doing well with the once a day feedings. Too, feeding fresh veggies (Romaine lettuce and zucchini) to my Silver Dollars and Pleco has helped to cut down the food waste as well. I really noticed a difference when I vacuumed yesterday.
I'm happy!

Once a day, though one day here and there I don't feed them.

Once a day. I leave my house early in the morning and they're still sleeping . I feed them at dinner time flakes, blood worms, veggies and wafers, by rotation. My fish seem to hate the color enhancing food though, but they still have to eat it once/week.

Just once a day for me, and we usually fast them one day a week as well. IMO overfeeding is a big problem in a lot of tanks and quickly leads to water quality issues.

Once every 2 days usually. If more than that, there is far too much waste & most of the food goes uneaten.
My bettas eat once a day.

Three times a day. One tiny pinch of flakes at breakfast, one at lunch, and one at dinner. Twice a week, my fish get fed bloodworms (their only meal for the day). The kuhli loaches get 1/2 a shrimp pellet once every two days. I also starve my fish once a week.

I think I'll go to twice a day, though, after seeing what you guys wrote.

I feed mine once a day except when I give them freeze dried blood worms then it's twice but that's about every other 2 days or so.
