Thin Fish

[tim the toolman]

I think that once a day feeding is not enough personally. I know a lot of people on here say they only feed once a day but in my experience a couple to three feedings a day is best.

I usually feed frozen once a day. Pellet and flake once a day. And nori/marine grazers every day as well.

Skimmer runs thick but I would rather have a bit of algae and happy fish than clean glass to watch thin fish through.

And yes an auto feeder is nice to add if you can get a good one that can be programmed.

for thicking up fish. that really sounds weird.
Pacifica Plankton, and New life Spectrum pellet. i find fatten your fish!

i only feed my tank once a day in the morning.
i roughly add 100-120 grams of pellets every morning.
what is a lot.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am not sure if there's a worm or parasite which could be causing this. I will read up on the symptoms. I believe I have Prazipro at home as well, will have to check to make sure its still good.

Regarding feeding. I have always fed my fish 1 time per day. The fish affected are not new to the tank and have been there for quite while - min 6 months each. I will bump up once I adjust my lighting schedule to ensure they are all awake in the morning.
