Seriously, I get a zillion different answers to this question from researching on my own, and from asking at the pet shop.
The consistent response to how much is "How much they will eat in 3-5 minutes" and I am OK with that.
What gets me is frequency - I have been told 3 times/day, 2 times/day, 1 time/day, and once every other day...
How often should I feed my fish?
Also, how do I manage to fill all of the recommendations I get for a smaller tank? I have been told to get fish for each of the three levels, top middle and bottom, but to have companions in each breed, with specific ratios - and if I try to follow that I would have serious overcrowding!
Current setup:
20 gal tank
3 Mollies - Black Male, Silver Lyretail Female, Gold Female (a fourth black female as a fry, but growing up fast)
3 Platies - Male Sunburst, Female Twin Barb, Female Sunset
2 Serpae Tetras, gender unknown
1 Emerald Cory
I want a small angel; pulled it out at the recommendation of members of this forum and have it in my daughter's 14 gallon setup with 3 platies as company
