Feeding the Wolf Pack

[Gobrian44]

So in my 70G i have 4x sens 3-6" and 2x Dels 4-5" and i call them the wolf pack cuz of how they search for food. but recently i started to feed them once a day and the food just dissapeared. i felt like i was under feeding them but most ppl say they feed them once a day. and noticed that my rainbow shark had been missing and just found what was left of the body under the del...how often should i feed these guys?

Wow... Sorry to hear.


I feed mine 2-3 times a day, small amounts. I have four sens (ranging from 7-10"), and three dels (ranging from 6-7"). If they were all adults, I would feed them once a day.

I'd say, while your guys are still growing, i'd feed them twice or even three times a day. Once they hit 7-8"+ feeding once a day will be more than enough, but these guys have strong appetites while they are in there "growth spurt" stage. If they want to eat, they will.


Good luck.

okay thank you. I was a little worried because it seems like my Dels don't eat a lot. but i guess if u feed once a day then thats fine.

I feed once every other day.
