Water changes are just as important as the food/feed... you need to be changing water Daily.. the Larger the best!!!
I have juvenile discus fish(2.5" to 3") and based on my online research it is said by many that three to four feedings a day with wide variety of foods will help them grow healthy & to full potential.
Currently I'm following below feeding routing, (6 hours split in a day)
- Day Feedings 07:30AM & 02:00PM
- Night Feedings 08:00PM & 02:00AM
1) Can someone suggest if this is a good feeding schedule & can i stick with it or any changes recommended?
2) Also, with my current feeding schedule I have been noticing that 1/4th of the food fed at 02:00AM is left uneaten at the bottom of the tank. I'm not sure if its right time to feed or i should skip this feeding schedule.
Appreciate any additional suggestions on this.

Thank you Jester. I'm following that
Here's my feeding routine.
My automatic feeder is set to this time 4x a day feeding.
9:00 am - 50% water change before feeding
9:30 am 1st feeding
1:00 pm 2nd feeding
5:00 pm 3rd feeding
9:00 pm 4th feeding
10:00 pm - 100% water change after feeding
Thank you warblad79. That helps & answers my question. I will skip my 02:00AM feeding & update the routine accordingly.
