Is it OK to starve the aquarium fish for a 24 hr period once every 15 days or once a month?

Question

Some aquarists say its helpful for the fishes internal organs and digestive systems and also boosts their immunity.

Answer 1

Fish, like all 'wild' animals, don't always know when they are going to eat. Therefore, when they have a chance to eat they will. Therefore, it is the responsible keeper who decides when and how often they will eat.
If you keep tropical fish (i.e. tetras, platties, etc.), feed 5-6 times a week skip a day or two. Only feed what the fish eat in 30 seconds to 1 minute. Don't pay attention to the labels on the food. They want you to feed more food so that they sell more food.
If you keep temperate to cold water fish, I would recommend only feeding 2-3 times a week.
Fish digest food according to the temperature around them. Cold water keeps the fishes body temperature lower and digestion isn't a fast or complete; therefore less feeding is needed.

Answer 2

Yes, fish need less food then most people think and can go much longer without eating then people expect. There is no evidence that skipping days of feeding is really beneficial to fish health, but we do know it does no harm. If I have young fish I prefer to feed them daily with random, infrequent skipped days. My oldest, nearly grown fish I feed three or four days out of a week.

Answer 3

Fish don't necessarily get food every day in the wild. It doesn't hurt thenm to have an irregular feeding schedule, that is what they have in the wild. Just don't go more than a couple of days without feeding them.

Answer 4

Well I'm not an expert, but I only feed mine once a day and I often skip a day. I probably skip a day twice a week. And my fish are healthy and fine. It might depend on what fish you have though.
