It depends on what you feed them, how much you feed and how long it takes to eat each feeding. I have about 35 Dalmation Molly fry that are about 6 weeks old. I feed a pinch (tiny) 3 times a day. The fry born last Sunday are fed a pinch of fry food 4 times a day. The fry will forage for alge all day. If they have grown to about 1-1/2 of their birth size you can probably feed no more than 4 times daily. I usually feed 3 times a day when they are one month until 8 weeks then feed morning and evening, only. My fry at about 3 months are fed only in the evening.

Generally, once mine get to be 2 months old I go to 3 times a day, and then at 3 months when they are fat little piggies they go down to twice a day. That's just me, and what I feed though. As Bryan said, it depends on a few things.
