how may times a day do you feed your fish

2 small meals a day now and i always watch them eat. i love how they get in a frenzy over some stinky pellets.

I feed my pacu, aro, and balas once a day, and I feed my lima cats, TT eel, and senegal bichir every other day, and I always watch my fish eat.

Why feed so much that you have to scoop it up and waste that food? try cutting back until they eat everything you put in there

I try and feed the smaller adolescents 1-2 times a day, the adult fish I feed once a day, and I usually skip feeding one day of the week, usually the day after the water changes. I keep mostly central american cichlids, with a couple of south americans, and one tank with tanganyika cyps, shellies, and comps. I also have a few plecos. I always try to watch at feeding time.

On my 45 gallon growout I feed them once a day pieces of raw shrimp, bloodworms, krill and mysis shrimp. On my 225g I feed once a day of hikari pellets and shrimp. On my 450g I feed every other day or 3 times a week of full raw shrimp, full lake smelts and hikari pellets.

do you leave the food in your tank and walk away?

I do! With the exception of my gars & african cichlids. I kind of feel guilty watching the gars eat, but damn is it cool to watch! The african cichlids are rediculus. I would need a steam shovel to dump enough food into the tank to go over the "1 minute" food rule with these ***hogs!
