feeding

[BigCiX]

i currently have 15 fishes living in a 40 gallon tank. how many time should i feed them:

4 tiger barbs
2 angels (1 baby, 1 adult)
2 bleeding heart tetras (1 baby, 1 adult)
3 algae eaters
1 black ghost knife
1 silver dollar
1 pictus catfish
1 gold Severum

right now i give them 3 small pinches 3 times a day. is this good or not?

I think i have about 20 fish in a 55 gallon and i feed them once a day at night until they seem full, which is about 10 minutes but i think that what your doing is good.

As long as every one gets something.

I feed mine one nice serving once every 2 to 3 days. Have done this for years now. Fish are healthy, trim and live for years.

Less food is less waste and less to worry about

Let me know how your tigers and Angelfish work out together.

I feed my fish a soild amount once a day, & once in a while twice as a treat...I agree, less food = less waste...

Twice a day, there is quit a bit that falls to the bottom, but the 4 cories and 3 humungous lace cats clean that area vigourously. (It falls by the bio wheel.)

the tigers and angels hardly mess with each other. as long as you have about 3 or more tigers them you should be ok. they only pick amongs themselves.
