Angelfish--

[Booboo puppy]

My 6 young angelfish who are about quarter size, constantly act hungry. (They are in a 40 gallon tank with 3 albino catfish, 1 julii catfish, 1 small bristlenose plec, and 6 harlequin rasboras). They will eat as much food as I provide. Can they be overfed? I usually feed them once in the morning and once in the evening, but every time I pass by their tank they come to the front. If I add food, they gobble it up.

Typical healthy, hungry angels. As with all fish it is better to underfeed than overfeed. Keep with the twice daily feedings, remembering that their stomach is about the size of their eye.

yep, just carry on as normal. i think every fish always wants food, but they cant always have that food they want.

fish are always hungry, especially babies.

Not sure with angels but i go by the rule as much as they can finish of in about 3 mins .I'll have to time it lol.

Thank you for the advice. I'll stick to the twice per day feedings for now.

For baby cichlids I fee as much as they can eat in 30 seconds, several times a day.
