Whats your aros feeding schedule?

[Gr8KarmaSF]

After waiting ten years to have a tank that can hold an aro I finally have one! I currently have a silver aro, about 8 inches in my 180 gallon tank. I have been doing alot of research about aros but have seen so many conflicting opinions on feeding schedules! My question isnt what to feed the aro but how often? Everyday? Every otherday? How often do you guys feed your aros?!?!?

I feed mine 1-2 times per day along with the rest of my fish, oh **** i forgot to feed them today, no worries, their well feed anyways, guess i go feed them now.

i only feed once per day, usually at night cuz most of my fish are nocternal.. also i have days of fasting (usually 2-3 days a week) since by fish are mostly over 12" now..

 

[DeLgAdO]

i fast them only 1 day out of the week

So as the age/size of the aro changes does the feeding schedule change along with it? If so what is it? What is the reasoning for fasting? Are there any benefits?

1-2 times a day, depending on my mood. some days i dont feed so that to let them starve and clear their stamach of food totally..

yes, most adult predatory fish in the wild fast after a big meal, their digestive systems are built for periods of fasting.. fasting also keeps your fish fit and so they won't get overweight

as juveniles though they should be fed everyday to ensure proper growth

Please define juvenile. Age? Size? Thanks for all your help!
