Throughout the week I give my fish pellets throughout the day, then at night they get pellets with either frozen brine shrimp, bloodworms or frozen cichlid delight(which has a bunch of different food from turkey heart, shrimp, etc). What I do sometimes during the week is Ill cut the cubes in half and Ill give them like the cichlid delight with brine shrimp and pellets, I switch it up alot because I know how it is to eat the same food everyday.. Brittani says I spoil them, but I dont know if I do. I get them ghost shrimp for treats whenever I go to petsmart too. I normally buy about 30-40 and keep them in my net breeder and scoop them out when I want to feed my fish with them.
 
I like to do multiple small feedings. Pellets & Algae wafers are the main staple foods, with nightcrawlers and freeze dried tubifex worms being treats.
 
my fish eat at my convenience honestly, none of them are starving by any means but unless i'm powerfeeding or it's my flowerhorn (he's spoiled), sometimes they may eat twice if i'm home all day on a weekend, sometimes they purge for a couple days - never had a problem with an inconsistent schedule as they get a varied diet
 
Schedule, whats that? :) I feed them sometimes twice a day other times skipping a day or two. It varies between; flakes/pellets/wafers, freeze dried, or/and frozen, with a few treats of live as I get them.
 
I feed whenever I feel like it, making sure I don't starve them of course. Sometimes I feed them 2-3 times a day, and last week I was away so they went 5 days without any food. I didn't trust people getting near my fish tanks, and even then when I came back I found one of my filters accidentally unplugged >.>
 
Okay cool, I was just seeing if I was over feeding, and by the looks I dont think I am :), and I just wanted to see what everyone else was feeding their fish.
