clown feeding schedule

[JD_MAN]

Mine get fed once a day, right before the lights turn out. Most of mine are 3"-9". They are fed flake most days and occasionally given frozen market shrimp.

Wurm....

Once a day max for all sizes. I have 5 (1.5-2.5) little guys that I try to feed several small meals each day. Is this wrong? Should I just give them one large meal a day?

Actually, my smaller ones get fed once a day too, but slightly larger meals. It is OK to feed more than once a day, just use less food. Nitrate control is my goal, especially with my stocking levels.

I like feeding them often but with little portions.
I feed mine Betta and Hikari Cichlid Gold pellets, Rainbow Colour and Tetramin flakes, bloodworms, insects, brineshrimp, algae wafers, cucumber and zucchini.

Insects? what kind and do you catch or buy them.

I pretty much feed just once a day also, usually just before lights out in the tank ~ 9:00-10:00PM. The only exception is when i feed veggies (usually zuchini or cucumber) i will put it in either in the morning before i go to work or just as i arrive home ~5:00-6:00 PM. This seems to work well as i have had what i consider to be good growth rates (for clown loaches anyways).

I catch flies, crickets, peices of gecko tails and some other stuff I find buzzing around the house.
