Feeding time! I love it

[johnnyberotten]

I have reduced the feeling of my bichirs down to one big feeding per day.
Its an addiction I am struggling with.
Is it harmful to overfeed these guys?
They don't seem to ever be full.

I rotate days from pellets-smelt-shrimp-chicken liver-blood worms. They eat better than I do.

How often and what are others feeding?

Cheers!

I have a small albino bichir and have kept them in the past. I spot feed him worms on occasion (3x a week) and feed pellets daily, once a day. Seems to keep him happy. I have a cichlid and catfish that would eat as much as I give them! It's tough when they come swim to the tank edge when you walk by...giving you those "FEED ME MAURICE! FEED ME!" looks....stay strong! Juvenille fish I'll feed 2-3 times a day smaller portions just to keep them eating.

I feed them once at night.

Awesome!
Glad to hear I'm not alone with my disease.
Maybe we should start up a "Feeders Anonymous" group

I feed them once at night.

X 2 A formula that I have found effective with one or two skip days a week. This is for mature fish only, smaller polys still in their rapid growth phase get twice per day.

Ok then,
I'm bumping back up to twice a day. WoooHoo!
