Terrible Advice Tuesdays: Fish need to be fed everyday or else they’ll die.
The rest of the story:*Let me be really clear on 2 things first:
If you don’t feed your fish for a day, they aren’t going to instantly going to sink to the bottom of your tank and die. This fact is especially true if your fish are healthy and well-fed like mine. Furthermore, not feeding your healthy fish for 24 hrs isn’t going to put them in a weakened state that makes them susceptible to diseases.
Even certain high-metabolism fish like anthias will also be fine if you occasionally*skip a daily feeding.
Skipping a daily feeding is*not*going to ruin your fish!
Sick fish advice:*If you treating a sick fish, or you have a fish that is underweight,*don’t skip the feeding. The fish needs all the food it can get and you don’t want to skip a day especially if you are medicating the fish’s food.
