I noticed in Biff's "RIP lenny the Blenny" thread, some talk about cutting back on feedings to once every couple or three days.
Here's what I've been wondering~ I have a copperband and 2 anthias. I actually feed small portions 3 times a day, because I am worried about these guys. The copperband eats whenever it is offered but only the mysis, brine or mussels, and the Anthias are fine, but, I have read that they have a high metabolism and can starve if not fed frequently.
Any thoughts on this? I (as I have mentioned in another thread) battle phosphates, and I am sure the amount of feeding is the main problem, but I am scared to cut it back.
I love the thought of an easier to maintain tank though.
How often do you guys feed? Do any of you have a copperband? and REEFFREAK how are your anthias for feeding and the whole metabolism thing?
Thanks
