![]() There is a lot of conflicting information on the web though, some suggesting fedding all the way from once a day to not required at all.
I feed my two small guys daily becuase there are reeally really small, I am trying to help encourage growth. My big BTA I'll feed maybe every 3-4 days, but I am thinking that maybe I should scrap the silversides.

![]() Hey Greg, my suggestion, feed the anemones a generous splop of mysis from a turkey baster say every 2-3 days to encourage growth. If you prefer to level out the growth, cut back to say weekly.
Honestly, I hardly ever feed my BTA's anymore. I try to shoot them a splop of mysis whenever I think of it, but there's no regularity to the routine. I've tried everything from feeding generously every day to not feeding for well over a month, and to be honest I've never really noticed any difference in growth rates. It's like they decide how big they will be. What did vary, is how often they would split. When I fed them super generously, I got more splits in a year. When I fed them less, I got fewer splits.
