    As most of you know, I have not been a fish person for a long long time. Well now I have 4 and will be adding another soon.

    They are pigs, pigs I tell ya. They get a large feeding of frozen, flake and chopped nori and yet they beg like no tomorrow. I am thinking of doing smaller feedings twice a day?

    There is a Rabbit, Yellow Tail Damsel, Skunk Clown and a Domino Damsel. The last addition will be another clown.

    I am really enjoying them though.

    I feed a 1/2 sheet of nori in the morning, my Apex feeds 3 times (2 drum rotations) of pellets and I feed a chunk of frozen once every 2 days. I imagine how my day would be if I ate one huge meal a day and figure it's probably not best fish eat that way either.

    Mine are constantly begging and flashing their vibrant colors anytime I'm near the tank. They still only get fed twice daily (small portions) and they remain fat and healthy.

    Imagine keeping anthias or fairy wrasses or any other fish that REQUIRE multiple feelings a day. Talk about pigs.

    Well civic they appear to be starving to death and then I am fearful someone/a fish will start nipping corals.

    How many times a day do you feed.

    Yes this is true. :oops:

    What do you feed?
    Hence the reason I try not to get fish that need frequent feedings.
