Do you feed your fish every day?

I feed them randomly really. what about you ?

Mbuna cichlids. Feed twice a day, very small portions. Starve them on Monday's.

They would rarely ask for food when I would approach the tank. Now every time I come up they get excited and think it's feeding time

It's good to starve Mbuna for one day of the week to help their digestive system catch up to all the feeding throughout the week.

My discus get fed four times a day, the neons once and the shrimp every two days or so.

Is there a reason discus need to eat more often?

I feed them every other day, although some species like goldfish need to be fed throughout the day since they don’t have an actual stomach. Otherwise, other than a few edge species, I don’t think there is any reason to feed any fish every single day (or multiple times a day).

I tend to feed them about once a day, twice if needed but never any more than that. I usually feed them not long after I get up in a morning after I have made a drink and somewhat woken up myself and then I will feed them just before I head to bed and that seems to be enough for them. I found that if I feed them anymore than that, I end up with the tank getting murky really quick and it was causing an issue so I must have been over feeding.

The feeding frequency varies depending on the species for me, but I do try to keep on a regular schedule so that I don’t forget.

Feeding them too much might be why some died on me as a kid. Well, I don't really know why they died. It could have been the water.
