I don't really keep track I just know that i feed them at least 3-4 times a week (you can feed less if you want). Sometimes i will feed 2 in a row then wait a couple days then feed again then wait then again etc..., just random days. I'll usually a sample of what i'll feed in the tank to see if they will eat it and if they don't i don't throw it in because i don't want to get it all out
 
Wat u guys r feeding them everyday and wats ur size range, mine r from 25cm to 45cms, all I had for abt roughly abt two yrs

I feed a variety of scallops, shrimp, earthworms, massivore, tilapia, and once in a while beefheart, and sometimes shrimp pellets for my small guys. Mine range from about 10cm to 24cm
 
I feed them all varieties of food from pellets to BH, CH , shrimps, tilapia and other fish and fillets.
Once a day and one day starving in a week.

When polys are young and growing fast you can feed them everyday but once their growth slows down you should slow down your feeding as well. Fish aren't like humans that need to eat to create and maintain body heat and such so they don't need to eat as often. I think its ironic that poly keepers thing a big round fat poly looks good and healthy but if you saw a person like that you'd say they were unhealthy and overweight. Fat buildup on major organs can be and is a major issue in captive fish

I feed my fish 3x-4x a week. Sometimes twice a week.
