How often do you feed fry?

How often do you feed fry? I'm a bit worried because I have 15 fry from newborn to 1 month and no one is at home during the day so I feed them at 8:30am, then at 6:30pm then 10:00pm. Are they getting enough, because some days I come home late and they only get food twice a day.

I like to feed mine about 5 times a day. But I think water changes are almost as important as multiple feedings, daily if I can, every other day minimum.

But if you aren't there, you aren't there. 2-3 times a day will not harm them.

I feed mine "little and often".

It depends on my financial situation. I like to give them crushed flakes, frozen bloodworms, frozen baby brine shrimp and crushed spiralina flakes. Occasionaly I'll give them an algea wafer or shrimp pellets. For my current batch of fry I'm also going to try giving them live baby brine shrimp. Each feeding is small as you don't want to pollute the tank. When they are a few weeks old I like to put a few cory cats in with them to help clean up the leftovers.

Normally about twice a day, once before I go to work and then again when I come home ( 13 hour gap).

Your feeding schedule sounds the same as mine for angel fry, except I start an hour earlier.

I feed mine three to four times a day. Feed them in the motning when i get home for lunch and for supper. I also get my cleaner " maid" to give them food a couple of hourers later. Thats about it I only feed them flakes. I hope that doesn't make me look cheap just don't know what else to give them.
