Yes, it’s those wild videos of my fish in the wild so fat, I agree!I feed 4-5 times a day when I introduce new fish, to help keep stress levels as low as possible. After 3-4 weeks I go down to twice a day, sometimes three times.
I give them nori at least once, sometimes twice. But I’m home during the day so it’s easy for me. When I wasn’t, I was feeding once a day.
Also when I look at videos of marine fish in the wild, they’re so fat and plump. I figure that’s how they’re meant to be.
It’s not common for me. I feed frozen twice a week.I generally do two light feedings a day sometimes one heavy one. If I get called out and miss a day I don’t think twice. I have a jerk Damsel solo in a tank that gets fed every other day and he’s 15 years old (I took responsibility for him so… he’s a jerk). All my fish do have the option to hunt pods or algae if they want and they do. Anyways years ago this was pretty common. At what point did 3+ times a day become common practice? One of my buddies thinks I’m satan for only feeding once or twice a day. It really gets him when I remind him I only feed frozen 2-3 per week.
Lol...me tooI have a fat dog too.
How are you determining the percent body weight of your fish? Are you catching and weighting them monthly or just guesstimates?There is a difference between how OFTEN you feed, and how MUCH.
I think how much is pretty simple, if not easy - about 2,5 to 3% of fish weight per day of food (dry).
I think for how often, the more the better as most of the fish we keep seem to be on the side of squirrels foraging all day for nuts than lions eating a cow once a week.
I'm not sure if I would consider it common practice, but a lot of us do it more often.At what point did 3+ times a day become common practice? One of my buddies thinks I’m satan for only feeding once or twice a day. It really gets him when I remind him I only feed frozen 2-3 per week.
I think it started when skimmers and refugiums became more efficient than in the past, causing nutrients to drop or bottom out.
