Feed community fish 2-3 times per day. Only feed them what they can consume in 2-3 minutes. This will ensure that you do not over feed. It is better to feed them several small servings throughout the day than to serve them one big one.

Yep, just make sure that you don't feed too much at each individual feeding session. I feed mine before I go to work, when I get home, and before I turn out the lights. If you are used to feeding once with the one time being a large feeding, it may take a bit to get used to. It took me a bit because I used to feed once a day as well.

You feed your fish once a day

Feed them flake once a day at night time an hour before the lights go off. Every week feed them bloodworms or brineshrimp. if you have a pleco feed him a wafer once every 2 days. Every months feed him or her a cucumber piece.(cut up the piece) then with a rubber band rap it around a decor and put the cucumber on it.

Do not feed them once a day. This is incorrect. Also, not all fish have digestive systems that are conducive to bloodworms and brineshrimp. It is irresponsible to reccomend this so generally.

I feed mine what they will eat in 3 minutes every other day. 2-3 times a day is too much.
