Feeding time: How long does it take you?

[redtailfool]

About as long as your process steve, sometimes faster but it averages about 30 minutes. My staple are frozen shrimp and it takes a while to thaw, de shell and chop to appropriate pieces.
After feeding, netting out the loose pieces takes a few minutes too.

Takes me about twenty minutes to dethaw and feed frozen foods, and gather up all the appropriate dried foods and get them to the appropriate tanks.

i like to watch the fish feed, so that i can also see if another fish is eating or not...even though sometimes i just drop food in the tank...i do like to enjoy watching everyone go for food...so yeah, time is not an issue. plus i choose a time when i dont have to go anywhere, then that's when i feed my pets. fish feeding is somewhat a type of bonding with my pets...they see me feed them, so they come out when i come to watch them even though it is not feeding time. even the secretive ones comes out I don't or try not to feed the pets everyday...maybe every one to three days... makes them eat whatever i drop in there

How many ice cube tray do you think it would take me to fit in 15-20 pieces of large shrimp ? And thats for one feeding for one tank, btw.

just throw it in on my way out in the morning, weekends are when they get treats and it takes time (up to an hour with live foods, I like to feed one by one)

Morning feedings are all dry foods, so no more than 5-10 mins. Midday feedings are dry, plus live crickets and meal worms so about 15 mins. Night feedings, which consist of frozen blood worms, Freeze dried Krill, and live crickets take about 45 mins, mainly because each of my daughters want to take there turn in feeding.
