Food Help

I m confused how much food should i put in the tank since gouramis and mollies allways act hungry and i have four tetras who r small and they never catch the food. And puting more food is harmful. Thats why put only pinch. Put now fish are looking dull..need some help

about as much as the fish can eat in 30 seconds to a min...also some frozen bloodworms and baby brine shrimp will sink and give them all a chance to get some...mollies n gourami's are huge piggies so thats normal

Spreading the food out over a wider surface, or feeding at two separate ends of the tank, can help the slower and/or smaller fish get their own meals. The sinking foods that Shawnie mentioned would help, too.

I have gouramis and they are just pigs. I would recommend some floating foods that your gouramis and mollies will attack and then adding something like granules after, which will sink slowly and allow your other fish to eat.
