    The problem with the poll, and the questions, is that they don't take into account what the fish is and what the goal is. You need to adjust the feeding to your and the fish' requirements.

    I feed once a day and I have Chromis which supposely need to be fed at least twice a day. I have found that with new Chromis they need to be fed twice a day for the first few weeks to get them fattened up.
