Question How Often Do You Feed Your Fish?

I have a 72 gallon with 1 regal tang, and 2 ocellaris clowns. The tank also houses 2 cleaner shrimp, 3 scarlet hermit crabs, 3 emerald crabs, and a dozen astrea snails.

Most books recommend feeding these fish 2-3 times a day. Many posts I've read on this board seem to indicate feeding once every 2-3 days.

How often do you feed?

Thanks,

Nate

I feed my fish usually twice a day if I can. The first feeding is just a small pinch of flake just for a quick snack and the second feeding is a good feeding which is a frozen food unless I am short of time where I just give a bigger flake feeding.

one time per day. Flake about five times per week, frozen twice.

Once per day. Vary the frozen with flake too. I also keep two clips with seaweed salad or similar on it throughout the day too.
