Ok, so I have 4 dwarf gouramis and 3 kuhli loaches in a 20G tank. I feed the gouramis about 3 pinches a day, a few shrimp pellets and a very small pinch of freezed dried bloodworms, shrimp, etc. (it's a medley lol). I also put a small amount of died kelp in for the loaches. My question is, even though I feed them this amount, they beg for food anytime I come near the tank, and they eat everything I give them, no leftovers. Do you guys think I need to feed them more?
 
I'm no expert but that sounds like a lot of food for those fish. It's my understanding that fish will eat whatever you put in front of them, like a dog, so they'll always look hungry.
 
I feed my fish 2 x daily with food they can eat in about 3-4 minutes. I did not have any problems so far (for many years). Sure they would eat more...
