2 clown plecos ( 3.5 iches )
3 peppered catfish,
1 golden nugget pleco ( 4.5 inches )
1 adult 5 inch female bristle nose pleco?

PER DAY

i usally feed 1 mixed foods pellet ( crill, brine shrimp etc ) per fish ( 7 in total) and 1 single freeze dried brine shrimp cube roughly 1 cm2 ( squared ) and a small sprinkle of brown flake, not multi colored, every other day. potato or cucumber are present daily.

is this too much? not enough?

there is never any left over food by morning.( i feed just before lights out being mostly plecos )

It is about 2 or 3 times what I would feed in a day. I hesitate to say it is too much because I can't watch your fish working with it.
 
Sounds a bit much to me. I've got 32 small fish in my tank (biggest is about 6cm).

I feed them two 2 sinking tablets a day plus a handful of flake food. They get Bloodworm cubes, and Daphnia and Brine Shrimp as a treat now and again. Same with Cucumber.

All my fish seem fine on it but I always worry that I'm feeding mine too much!!
