Fasting Day

[Doodles]

So do you give your fish a fasting day?


I do every wednesday, quite hard to walk past the tanks and see them all waiting lol.

 

[Tony_s]

I do it on Sunday.

 

[macvsog23]

I feed every 3 or 4 days but do stop feeding for a week at times

My tank in my house very rarely gets any food in it

 

[Jo Crane]

Feed once everyday twice if they have fry in the tank

 

[Andrew]

I feed once a day, tanks with newly hatched fry get two or three small feedings each day, and one day a week i don't feed adult tanks, but do still feed fry tanks.

Doodles i know what you mean, i feed around the same time each day and on the day that i don't feed the adults i can see them peeking out from their hiding places, waiting for the food to go in and me to leave :re:

I feed once a day. When I give special treats (blood worms, watermelon for the plec's or something else messy) I will skip the next day feeding since its not always possible to find all the missing pieces or worms they have thrown about the tank. Usually happens once a week but the day depends on me, lol!

I feed all mine constantly except my 201 which have a habit of eating for the hell of it.
The 201s get a fasting day twice a week as they get overly fat every now and then.

 

[Irene0100]

I feed several times a day as most of the tanks have some fry or young in them.

 

[Doodles]

Forgot about fry. Well my big tank has 1 day off a week but the tank with L144 youngsters has food every day, veggies and wafers. All the fry like veggies, as soon as its put in, they all start shuffling towards it from various places in the tank, tis quite funny to watch.

We feed our fish in AM & PM. Skip feeding friday PM & saturday AM. Never skip feeding in grow out tanks.

 

[cup]

Once every few days I fast.

 

[Stan]

I aim for once a week, but sometimes its more like every two weeks.

 

[Oscar300]

Skip feeding after veg's, then once a week skip a day for my dats and oscar, thats not easy walking past the tank. They all give me the stink eye.

 

[FF MkII]

Have a few fast days a week.

 

[Doodles]

They all give me the stink eye.

Mine do too, used to feel guilty but not any more lol

 

[FF MkII]

The way i look at it is that in the wild they might not be eating every day and seeing as we try to recreate a natural environment i think it goes for feeding too

 

[Pete]

I dont feed them on water change day , once a week
