How much to feed fish.

[jude101]

I know this may seem such a simple question but how much should I be feeding my fish? I have just added 5 more fish to the tank and despite upping the feeding they always seem to be hungry. I have:
1yellow tang
1 royal gramma
1 yellow tailed damsel
1 Goby
1 clown fish
3 blue chromis ~ new
2 Anthias ~ new
I've been feeding 3 times a day - a mixture of flaked food and frozen Artemia ( I usually put in one defrosted cube per day) I also usually put in some dried seaweed. Don't want to overfeed but am concerned they aren't getting enough.

How much flake do you tend to give - a few good sized pinches?

no just 1 pinch,don't over feed them,i like to put just enough in so that all my fish can feed and just enough that its all gone in seconds.

Thanks- I was paranoid that I was putting in too little. Everything is gone in a few seconds so I must be about right!

sounds good to me,and sure it will to others,last thing you want is all the fish eating and then food still floating about.

Hi if you have tangs they need to have algae sheet ad lib, as they are constantly feeding in the wild and if they dont they go thin and wither away. You need to feed at least 3 to 4 times a day with a mixture of foods what they will eat in about a minute at a time.HTH Twiggy:D:D
