One of the greatest difficulties in this hobby is feeding your fish like they feed in nature. Most wild caught fish that aren't strict predators (like the Lionfish) are grazers. They eat throughout the day.
How do you think this can be accomplished in an aquarium where the owner works all day?
I'll start with two things I do:
1) When I feed algae, I put it on a clip. The herbivores in the tank graze on it throughout the day. Most of you likely do the same.
2) I can put cubed/gelled food into a cage so that the fish have to pick through the openings in the cage to get to the food. It takes them time through the day to get it all, and it gives them something to play with.
Have any other ideas? Please post!![]()
