My fishes are always hungry is that normal ?? Everyone they see me they all bunch up for food?
 
Thanks!! So should I feed them all the time or what because that's all they want to do is eat lol
 
Just a pinch or two in the morning and at night. If you feed too much it will rot at the bottom and send your tank into a crazy cycle that could poison the fish. The best thing I ever did was buy a few dozen ghost shrimp. They keep everything clean, and make a nice treat for the angels ;)
 
Fish for the most part don't need alot of food so feeding a little once a day or even every other day is more than enough. I have a 220g tank and feed between 1/8-1/4 teaspoon of food daily, depending on the food. Overfeeding causes excess nutrients in the water and can play a big role in developing nuisence algae.
