You should feed them 2 or 3 times daily an amount your fish will consume in 2 to 4 minutes. Start by feeding them a small amount and watch to see how fast they eat it. If it only takes them 30 seconds, you should give them more. It is always a better idea to start with too little and work up then to start with too much. After doing this a couple of times you'll have a good idea of how much is too much.
Flakes are generally the most widely used type of food.
Softening quickly in water, flakes are readily eaten by most fishes. Pellets are also the preferred choice for aggressive eaters that break pellets into powder before they can get a bite. The Spirulina Wafers and Shrimp Pellets are best for bottom feeding fish and algae eaters. Sometimes it's good to feed your fish a fresh lettuce leaf or other vegetable that you can attach with a clip to the side of your aquarium.
