the tanks with fry and my young polys in them get feed a little on the heavy side but I am currently feeding the others just about perfect.

I have gotten much better I used to badly overfeed my tank b/f I got used to frozen foods

I try to keep them fat, but they just eat sooooo much!!

I am hoping this lasts a month, complimented by pellets, crawlers, and the occasional live feeding...

It looks yummy..you have very happy fish:D
 
I over feed my fish but I skip 2-3 days between feedings. I also do large weekly water changes 50-70%.

Then that is not overfeeding...you feed well and then skip..or let them fast... duplicating the wild ..is good.
 
I currently feed several days in a row with a day off every 3-4 days. Fed on an every other day schedule for quite a while and everyone survived just fine. I may over feed once in a while but everyone seems healthy, not too skinny or fat. I feed the growing monsters more and direct feed or night feed the shy ones.
 
Have only had my new fish in my new tank for a few weeks now and already know its best to put all the food in at one time so there is mass confusion, no picking, bullying, everyone just eating in mass, each get their share. I only feed one time per day early evening or late afternoon.
