    Default DWARF LION HELP ....

    Hello, I have a fuzzy dwarf lionfish that I feed small frozen
    silversides and pieces of frozen shrimp (whole.) I was just wondering
    how often I should feed him, i generally feed him one shrimp/day but
    I'm not exactly sure if i should be feeding him that often. Also, I
    have slightly high nitrate levels even after a 35 percent water change
    should i feed my other fish there pellets and flakes once or twice a
    day? I've been feeding them in morning and night....

    I would bet your trate spike is becaus of the lion.. they are messy fish. I would feed him every other day and see how that goes

    Ok thanks alot for that...now about my other fish do u think i should feed them once or twice a day....i give a whole flake (crushed) and my chromis primarily eat that and i sprinkle in about 10 pellets of formula 1 and formula 2 (20 pellets total) for my goby, flame, and tang....is this ok or should they be limited to once a day?

    #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I would have to agree .U are over feeding .That is your nitrate spike . Feed the lion one day feed the flake the other .That way way u will be feed all your fish every other day.Your fish will not starve to death .When the are in the wild they may get a couple meals a week. I know they always look like they are starving ,but they see u come to the tank they think its meals time. The best thing is to feed a good quality food .#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
