    on my limited knowledge 3/4 days is fine. a week could start to lead to aggression, any longer and dust ups are inevitable. then when you feed them i dont think the trouble will stop for a good while.

    A day for me, I have 3 chromis.

    Now I was given the advice of feeding less but more frequently for my fish. Wonder if feeding every other day would have any adverse affects?

    I went away for a week and left them without food and asked mother dearest to not feed them but she did once and I have 10 cromis plus 30 other fish.
