Im just curious on how many times a day i should feed my fish. My tank was not fully cycled before I added fish so i was told to cut down on feeding them and feed them 1 time every 2 days. Now my tank is cycled so I feed them 1 time a day. But they seem starving, whenever you walk bye them they are there begging and following you around the tank, when I put in algae wafers for the suckers, the other fish eat them! Should I move to 2 times a day or is this pretty usaul behavior? :dunno: I could probably hand feed them they are so hungry or bored I guess. any suggestions?? their usual diet includes blood worms, flakes and wafers, thanks. I also add shrimp pellets but only put a couple in should I put a pinch?? I only put like 3 or 4 in and the kribs put them in their mouth and swim around with them so nmoonelse can eat them.
 
I usually feed twice a day, if you have the time then just put a very small amount in and when they've eaten that put another small amount in, this limits the amount that falls to the tank floor.
 
I feed once aday depending on tank. For loaches two time a day with blood warm ofcourse small amount to keep them full as my loaches r small they need them to grow. And I feed them the food they can finish in a matter of a few second. Better feet small peice of food at a time until they finish it then add, after a few months of observing ur own fish you will get a hand on when they be full and should not be feed again.
