Feeding frequency

How often should I feed my fish? I usually feed once a day. I recently added 2 engineer gobies and some sites say to feed them 2x a day.

The tank is 75g, has a clown pair and goby pair.

I used to feed once a day, then I went to once every other day. Lately, feed them every 3 days. Tank is looking better without all the extra nutrients.

Just FYI, I have a friend with a 120 that never feeds his fish. His tank has been established for 3 years or so, and he completely stopped feeding them after the first year. I don't know how this is possible, but unless he's lying, I guess he has a small ecosystem that produces enough food for his fish.

 

i also have 2 engineer gobies and i only feed them every other day. they dont like it very well but its better for the aquarium.I think youll love your gobies,Ive had one of mine for two years and its my favorite fish

 

I'd you work on waste removal, you won't have a problem with high nutrients. I feed my OSFF about 7-10 times a day and don't have a problem.
