How often to feed Tiger Barbs?

[fishielover]

I have a group of six Tiger Barbs, who double as Piranhas when it is time to eat. I feed them once a day, and they seem to be starving when i do. I have seen some posts that say they feed every 2 days or so. Is my one time a day too often? Should i feed them more? Less? and how much exactly.

Thanks for the help.

I feed once a day with a varied diet. I use flakes / skinless peas / cichlid pellets / frozen blood worm / live fry. I usually skip one day during the week. Its actually healthy for them to not eat everyday. I can't remember who said it but " A hungry fish is a healthy fish! ". HIH

I feed my tigers twice a day, but not as much. I believe this helps keep them active. To each their own, however.
