how often to feed fish?

[trout_pout]

how often should i feed them, I feed them once a day at 8:00am but they do eat some of the leaves of my plants, so i'm wondering how often to feed them

i feed mine once in the morning and once again at night keeps em happy...also variety in the diet is important so dont just feed flake foods all the time

I feed mine once a day and skip weekends. I would be more worried about overfeeding then under...

I feed every other day then fast them on weekends (its so hard when they all crowd at the front for food though! )

I feed once a day. But some days I'll give them a small amount in the morning and a small amount in the evening. The loaches like to eat more than once a day so I try to space out a normal ration of food into several small meals. Sometimes a small pinch of flakes in the morning and 1/4 cube of mysis shrimp in the evening.

i feed mine every second day but not alot it keeps the water clear and makes the fish excited when its feeding time lol

I've got a slight over feeding problem with my female Bettas. They love my Cories sinking pellets for some reason so I've had to put the whole tank on a diet. I am going to be mixing their diet up too, feeding them some frozen mosquito larvae and hoping the girls will aquire a taste for it and leave the other food alone. So far it seems to have partially worked when I tried a packet of bloodworms.

Normally I feed them in the evening when I get home but now I've had some recent changes to my setup, I'm going to alter the feeding pattern.

My 3 Spot Gouramis are going to be fed once every day with a mix of flake food and frozen mosquito larvae alternating days and if I can get them to, sinking pellets as well. My Cories and the Bettas in there I'm going to try feeding once every other day and a mix of sinking pellets and mosquito larvae with Betta pellets for the Bettas if they'll take those. My male Betta will be fed every other day with mosquito larvae and Betta pellets if he'll still take them.

I usually don't feed them on Sundays and occasionally skip Mondays as well.
