How Much To Feed?

[RetroJester]

So I have a tank with two not-yet-full-grown angelfish, a goldfish, 6 neon tetras, a bottom feeder and a snail. How much should I be feeding them everyday? I'm just not sure.

Enough that they can eat completely within around 3mins, be sure to remove any excessive waste though.

You do realise that Goldfish are cold water and the neons are tropical ??
not sure what temps they all need but I would check they are ok together if you haven'y already done so.
 
What is the bottom feeder ? some require totally different food to what your other fish will eat and will need to be fed depending on his needs and not just left to feed on the scraps and left overs.
Is it a Plec - does it need wood for digestion etc

Goldfish do well in tropical temps. They can adapt. They even invaded our countries rivers. 
 
But Im afraid you still have the wrong stocking. Id say rehome it. I have seen a goldfish eat a neon tetra before. sad sight really

Feed enough that can be eating in about 2 mins but make sure to take the left over food out. Now to your stocking it is not the best in my opinion your goldfish will eat your neon tetras

They are not all in the same tank. I worded my original post wrong. The goldfish has his own tank.

How big is their tank?

What is the bottom feeder?

The neons, angelfish, bottom feeder and snail are in a 60 gallon and the goldfish is in his own 50 gallon. 
 
Right now the neons and angelfish eat a normal tropical fish food, and the goldfish has goldfish food. The bottom feeder has algae food of some sort. 
 
I've just learned that the bottom feeder is a cory catfish. (He was given to me by someone who didn't want him, and she was going to flush him, so I wasn't having that.)

find out the exact species and buy more. Corydoras need to be in a school of 6 above. They are very social

Okay stocking sounds alright then Except the cory would prefer more mates, as they are a schooling fish that are happiest in numbers of at least 6.
 
You want to feed all they can eat in about 2 minutes, though I always feed slightly less, to avoid overfeeding. 
 
If you could get some sinking or shrimp pellets then your cory would appreciate them more.
 
Try to not feed them for at least one day of the week, as it lets their system clear out.

Thanks a lot The cory is not a permanent resident at my place. I'm just keeping him. I found him a home in a place that has a tank of just corys

Good, I was just going to say a cory catfish has no way of feeding itself within 2 minutes.

Add some ghost shrimp and then feed them all you want.
 
Ghost shrimp will eat anything and everything excess in the tank.  If there's enough excess, they'll multiply to an equilibrium to match the excess.  They are fun to watch and fantastic janitors.

ghost shrimp can kill the seemingly unwell fish, they are aggressive to a point where they kill anything that moves
