What's your Knife's diet?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Also can people include how often they feed their knife fish because sometimes I feel like I am overfeeding and others I feel like I am underfeeding. I feed him every two to three days.
 
5 inch African and 2-3 inch BGK...Mine will only eat frozen bloodworms ..I think they take mysis shrimp too but that makes a mess..I feed once daily. Every 2-3 days? They must be hungry!

I am just curious to see what other people are feeding their knife's and how often they are. For example I have an African Brown Knife and I feed him frozen brine shrimp and blood worms every 2-3 days. I just recently got him and was wondering what else I should be feeding him.
if he is still a baby i would feed him every day small amounts 2xs a day..once matured this 2-3 days would be fine..
 
i have a clown knife and a royal, and i feed them flackes every 2 days and shrimp 1 a week. and the way you know if they are full is because you will see a bullge behind their head
 
;) Varied diet keeps them healthy & happy. Dainichi Ultima pellet along w/ live worms, crickets, frozen silversides & shrimp, freezedried krill & bloodworms. Once a day, every other day. "T"
 
I just recently got a black ghost and have been wondering the same thing so this thread is helpful.

Mine pretty much started off by eating a guppy. For now he won't have the chance to eat another... I've been feeding him bloodworms, small frozen pieces of trout and then I gave him two annoying flies. He doesn't seem too fond of brine shrimp.

I've been feeding him rather randomly, like all the fish I own. I work shifts so my life's random as are my feeding times. ;) I've been aiming for once a day on average. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
