[Rakib]

Hello!

I am a newbie, I have two black Molly. I am giving a small rounded shape foods for the fishes. I want to know:

1. How many times I should feed them?
2. How many pieces I should give them?

See the food on the attachment

Thanks

Welcome to TFF!

Rule of thumb is to feed not more than your fish can finish eating within 3 min.

Fish can eat an awful lot of food in 3 minutes.

Its hard to tell the size of those pellets but I would say no more than 3 or 4 pellets.

I am a newbie,

That's no prob. Im going to ask you a few things just to see if you need more help.

How long have you had the tank?
Is the tank cycled?
Has it got a heater?
Has it got a filter?
What size is the tank?
Do you have water conditioner?
Do you know the PH KH GH of your water? Mollies need hard water to stay healthy.

Within 3 min once a day you cannot overfeed a fish. But the main point here is, that there is no left-over food, which would be bad for water quality and would feed other critters in the tank.
