Freed babies doing well, but question about 2X daily feeding

[karipatra]

Hi all!

Well, everyone is doing well, including the "freed" babies, but I have a question about the 2x daily feeding.

The water the babies are in is running about 63 degrees, and they seem to take a long time to digest their food. Their bellies are still red 12 hours later, when I feed them again.

Should I still feed them twice a day or is once okay because of the cold water temps and slow digestion?

Thanks and have a great weekend! :grin:

You can feed once or twice a day if you are using baby brine shrimp.

I only ever feed mine once. It's usually plenty. I think the amount of food is more important than how many times a day you feed. Mine are stuffed after one feeding and I generally don't feed again until about 24 hrs later.

Great, thanks for the advice everyone!
