Default Feeding RBTA

Just curious as to how often to feed RBTA's. Just got one yesterday, it ate a cube of squid already... which is good. Anyone out there have opinions/experience with what works well for feeding schedule for them?

I used to feed mine once a week with a part cube of frozen krill. That seemed to be fine until I set up a new tank and it became suicidal.

About once a week for mine too. I feed him silversides, and he gets whatever mysis he can catch during the fish feedings.

I used to feed mine mysis a couple of times per week. It would split every 3 to 4 months when I target fed it mysis in this fashion. When I relied on my clark's clown to feed the RBTA, it would split once every 6 months or so.

I feed mine 3x a week. Usually small pieces of Oyster or whatever seafood I happen to have purchased for supper that week.
