Hello everyone its been awhile since my last post but, I have a question or two. Im curious about all you red belly keepers out there. How many times a week do you feed full meat meals. Meaning a large chunck of meat, so that everyone in the shoal get a good portion of food? Currently my reds will eat flakes a few times a week and then two times i do full meat meals. Also wonder anyones opinion on feeding catfish? I will post some pics in a min.
 
I feed mine fish fillets every other day, pellets everyday and krill on occasion. I also mix up what kind of fish I give them and try to add a few other food choices for them through out the week. Once a month I give them a few feeders as a treat :D
Mine P's don't seem to like catfish as well as tilapia but I have feed them catfish before...

My three smaller ones eat the most as my largest is 2 years older he doesn't eat as often, So I feed them based on what my little ones eat and if my biggest eats some then I simply add a little more :D
 
I feed my shoal pellets first thing in the morning and then usually pellets or i hand feed them catfish when i get home from school/work/hanging out with my best friend they swim up to me when i come into my room expecting food. And when I decide to spoil them i let loose about a dozen ghost shrimp or i get them a nice sized crayfish. Only live things i feed them are crustations.
 
feed mine twice a day.

pellets everyday, either market shrimp or earthworm every other day.

gonna start breeding convicts to feed them on. will feed them what they'll eat in in a single session just once a day then.
