FAQ - How Often Should I Feed My Fish??

By , About.com GuidesMarch 27, 2012

Follow me on:

How often should your fish be fed, anyway? Carnivores, herbivores and omnivores have different feeding requirements. So, should you feed your fish once per day? Twice per day? Every two or three days? Feed too often and a lot of the food will end up on the bottom of your tank, creating even more nitrates. Not often enough and the health of your fish will suffer.

I do once a day and as much as they can eat in 5 min for Carnivores and Omnivores. Herbivores I make sure they always have something to eat.
