Is this true?

Triggers should be fed a mixed diet of meaty foods such as chopped shrimp, squid, clams and fish. Frozen rations with marine algae and vitamin-enriched foods help provide a balanced diet. Triggers should be fed no fewer than three times a day. Triggers are messy eaters which can contribute to high aquarium maintenance requirements to insure good tank water quality, particularly in small water volume tanks.
Do you guys feed your trigger 3 times a day?

I've not kept triggers but I would say your post is correct on the feeding habits from what I have seen, read, and even heard on this forum.

There has to be someone out there with a trigger? How often are you feeding em?

You have the diet right for them. Though mine do not like the algae much. the dog face seems to enjoy it though. I feed mine once every other day.
I have a 5" huma and a 4.5" undulated, a gold dog face puffer and a 2.5' fimbriated moray. They are all pigs !!!
What kind of trigger do you have ? or thinking of getting ?

I try to feed mine 2-3 times. I just like to feed them more than once a day.

I have the Picaso Huma and have been rotating between shrimp 1 day and clams the next. I guess I should start at least morning feeding also. He is about 3-4 inches in a new tank with a maroon golden stripe clown.

'No fewer than 3 times a day'??????????
They would be the size of a football in no time...
Everyother day is what I have always fed my aggressives. The last time I purchased an aggressive for my grouper/trigger tank was 4 years ago...None have died.

IMO Feeding more than once a day, your going to have water and algae problems.

Thanks for the replies.....it sounds like it is open to opinions!

i feed all my fish every other day.

Mine get frozen variety (squid, shrimp, silversides, krill etc) on one day and flake the other. Fast one night a week. I would think feeding that often could lead to water quality problems depending of filtration and food not eatin.
