OFFICIAL: Feeding Regimen Thread

[Tainted Glory]

Alright, so I can't speak for everyone, but I know I'm always curious to see what others are feeding their fish. Naturally, rather than ask everyone individually, why not have a thread dedicated for the sole purpose of disclosing this very info? I'd like to keep this organized, so no off topic posts please. Also, if everyone could follow this form, it would keep things neat and clean.

Fish: 3x Widebar Dats, 1x Gold Severum, 1x P.Motoro

Feeding Regimen: Fish are fed three times daily, with a different offering every feeding. The first meal usually occurs at noon and generally consists of shrimp. The second meal happens at around 6PM and comprised of squid. The final meal is at 10PM and is generally earthworms. Every week or so I try and mix things up with blackworms, bloodworms, silversides, and pellets. All ingredients are fresh.

Comments: Things can get messy and weekly water changes of about 40% are a must! The fish are very aggressive eaters, especially towards the squid and earthworms. I feed the dats until they have rounded bellies and the ray until I get tired of throwing food in there. The sev takes what is left.

180 Gal
Fish:

- 15 Wide Bar Datnoid
- 2 Thin Bar Datnoid
- 2 8" Ornate Bichir

Feeding Regimen: 1/4 lb market shrimp every feeding which is done every other day. In between the market shrimps are Tetra Jumbo Krills.

Comment: Water change done every week. 25-30% change plus changing filter floss every week. I dump 1/4 lb of market shrimp at once because datnoids eat fast and they can finish it off without the ornate having anything. I personally freeze the shrimp once it has been bought from the market to kill all bacteria, fungus and the likes. And I don't peel the shrimp until the moment I will feed them. I take out the dark lines on both front and back, wash it several times before and after cutting to reduce the smell it has.
