Feeding Frequency

[r.zanello]

I was just wondering how often does everyone feed their P's in a week? Do you feed daily? every other day? or what is the frequency that you feed.

2x times a day for Juv.
1x time a day for sub adult.
Every other day for adult.
At the end It's all came down to the point of water quality, and visual look of your fish (some love to look at fatty fish, some want a skinny/slender healthy looking fish). You can feed daily or few times a day as long as you can keep up your water quality.

depends on size of the fish and species.
sometimes you want to cut back on feeding if you notice the fish is starting to get fat.
I generally feed mine once a week unless it's fry or juvi then I'll feed more depends on the size.

5" diamond rhom is what I asking the question about. I know they grow really slow, so do they require multiple daily feedings

 

[jp80911]

at 5" they do not require multiple feeding, depends on how much current flow you have in your tank, you can do 2 to 3 times a week, unless pygo, serra will usually stop eating once they are full so they won't get too fat too fast but if there's not much current in the tank you will want to reduce the feeding a bit since it's not getting enough exercise. personally i rather have the fish with a health lean body than an obese fat body just trying to get a little extra growth out of the fish.
keep your water clean will benefit better on the growth than trying to power feed it.
