    Best Atelomycterus marmoratus feeding schedule?

    How many times a week should/can I feed my pair of coral cats?

    Male is 18" and the Female is 20". I was feeding them daily and have now started every other day. How much is too much and how much food per shark?
    I am using Vita-Chem marine to soak squid, silversides, shrimp, and clams in and they seem to really enjoy it. They each take 3 or 4 pieces
    at a time daily. I also treat them each once a week with 3 live chromis off the tongs. I have backed off this week because i feel like its too much,
    they have very large appetites for slender sharks. Is it best to feed once or twice a week and give them more time to digest or give smaller
    amounts of food daily.

    I have found extreme growth rates in giving my freshwater preds a few live fish a day rather than a larger meal once a week. Can this also apply
    for sharks?

    Thanks for reading

    Actually - it best to feed them smaller amounts, but do so every day or two - than it is to feed one large meal once per week.

    The only sharks which it good to feed only once per week is wobbegongs.
