Too much is when it refuses to eat, or spit out undigested food.
Anemone is a carnivore. |

I read somewhere about once a week. I found that if I wait that long...she goes AWOL looking for a better spot LOL. So, I just feed here about every other day and notice that she does grab some left overs in the flow.

I don't feed my btas at all. They get their food from the water column and halides. They grow and multiply for me. If I feed, they do grow a lot faster.
If you want to feed to encourage growth, once a week is fine. Some use silversides, but I prefer small food. Mysis, an small krill chunks. They'll even eat carnivore pellet food or flake. They aren't fish, and don't need all that much at all. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
