Regular Member kukana d Posted September 30, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 30, 2012 I just started w/ 2x/day a few days ago-1x Rapashy and 1x Pro Gold. It was just 1x day-but some of my Veils look a little thin to me,so I bumped it up and added the PG.I finally found that I could feed the PG if I soak it for like an hour! It looks like mud after an hour-but nobody floats on it I also feed FBW and FBS as treats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member LovelyChaos Posted September 30, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) I only feed once a day, but I make sure that they all get some (: I also fast once a week. I have flakes right now and I am really paranoid about floatiness even though I soak them and feed it to them under the water. I am going to try to save up for some hikari pellets from my lfs (: Edited September 30, 2012 by LovelyChaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Narny105 Posted September 30, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) I feed three, maybe four times a day with soilent green, and occasionally I will also have a day where they will get some blanched spinach in the morning and some at night My nitrates go through the roof though Edited September 30, 2012 by Narny105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member DieselPlower Posted September 30, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 30, 2012 From 0 to 3 times a day depending on how busy I am. I'm pretty sure they find enough food I'm the pond to be OK on the 0 feeding days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member number20121 Posted September 30, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 30, 2012 Depending on how much time I am at work, anywhere between two and five times. Of course, when fed five times a day, these meals are very small, like dividing up 2 cubes of bloodworms between 13 fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jeana727 Posted September 30, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) I normally feed twice daily. I give them a piece of Mazuri & a piece of Rapashy. I dunk each piece under the water & kinda break in up....by then the Feeding Frenzy has fully kicked in. Every now & then I'll drop in some chopped veggies or fruit...whatever I am making for us.........their little beady eyes peer at me into the kitchen!! And now & then a few pieces of Progold. Bloodworms whenever I think about it. But Mazuir & Rapashy is the main food. Edited September 30, 2012 by Jeana727 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Jay Posted September 30, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 30, 2012 once a day but a fair amount, i use tetra goldfish japan and hikari Oranda gold mixed together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member tithra Posted September 30, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 30, 2012 I feed 4-5 times a day typically, probably 6 or more on weekends. I use pill boxes to measure out the amount of food each fish should have for the day and just throw a little in at a time whenever I am near the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jessicalee Posted September 30, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 30, 2012 Average 2-3x a day but juveniles I am growing out are fed more often. Lots of plain, cooked veggies in addition to meals (prevents my plants from being devoured). I use a variety of commercial sinking foods (Hikari more so than others) as well as homemade gel foods and fresh protiens and occasional fruits. The guys outdoors are fed less often (maybe 1-2x a day if that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Ms.Jenny Posted October 1, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted October 1, 2012 I used to feed three times a day at least, but have moved to one ProGold feeding in the morning and one Repashy feeding at night to help keep Nitrates low. Everyone seems happy so far and the Nitrates have been around 10ppm before water changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jessie Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 A small 2 times a day, and a few treats will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member 4prettyfish Posted October 9, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted October 9, 2012 I enjoyed also how everyone feeds their own fish. I usually feed twice a day. But there has been days only once a day. Tonight I fed them nothing. Last night I did pellets for breakfast and shelled peas in the evening. Tomorrow I will feed them twice. And I have learned to soak food prior to feeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can be done about it? I actually added two new goldfish to my tank right when I started feeding Repashy, so natually the nitrate level went up. I think it just keeps them EXTRA regular which might influence nitrates, but I can't say I've actually experienced higher nitrates because of Repashy. I would be interested in what others have to say about this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
