Feed or not to feed

http://imgur.com/IrGxl2ESo I hear mixed opinions...do you feed your hammer or don't. If so why...if u don't then why. Here is a current pic of a hammer I picked up the other day. Seems happy but would like it to grow. Is light enough?

I have a 29 biocube...stock lights.

It's a frog's spawn not a hammer. What did you hear? I feed phytoplankton when it's available. I have a tank full of hammers and yes they grow faster when fed additionally but you'll have high nutrience which can cause unwanted algae growth. Feeding is not necessary they will thrive of the little nutirence present in the tank and please don't feed them solid foods.

Frogspawn yes that's what I meant... What I heard was you don't have to spot feed them.

That is true, i never spot feed them, a waste of time. Read above.

You don't have to but they will take food. I feed all my 6 every other week some mysis.
