Depends on the fish, the larger and more predatory they are the less often they got fed, 9" piranha got fed every other day. There were exceptions, I fed my american eel twice every day, (small ammounts), otherwise the joker would keep knocking on the glass with the filter intake.
How often do you feed your fish?

myself I feed twice daily but in small amount's . so you could say I feed once daily but, I break it up to vary the type of food ex: feeding 1 flakes or pellet's feeding 2 beefheart / krull or worm's even live fish (small baby's) cought from across the street
once a day with frozen and feeders once a week along with a worm day. All my fish are young though.
Shoot! No wonder I don't get any work done. I'm with my fish constantly, and feed them little portions three times a day. These are the "grown" fish. The grow outs, they get food every 2 to 4 hours, but always little portions. I just watch them go after each piece at a time. Very fascinating to watch. I will try to feed them less except the growing ones.
Yeah I'm on the once a day schedule with my 90 gallon saltwater. Usually its cut up shrimp with pellets. The Snowflake eel eats a ton but then goes for a few days not eating sometimes, guess he takes nibbles out of the other fish!
