jus keep putting a few flakes in and see how long it takes for them to eat it !

How will that help determine how much to feed?

put a small pinch in if they dont eat it all within 2 mins then put less in

if it takes longer than 2mins to consume then its too much if they eat it quicker than tht again put another pinch in sorry tried to shorten it was in a hurry laptop was dying and didnt have charger at reach

do you guys feed everyday or not? personally i dont

 

[Fishy friend2]

I feed twice a day every day with flakes, during the week and on the weekend I feed mosquito larvae. Also I don't feed on mondays. Why don't you feed your's every day?

 

[XFiSh_CichildX]

i feed mine three times a day but say one day a week i would miss it out and feed bloodworm or brineshrimp the next day

fish are are opitunenistic in the wild they wouldn't have a schedules to be fed so i dont feed them every day... i do every 2-3 days but probably in larger amounts than you feed yours
