Fish Feeding schedule

I currently feed my fish on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Is this enough? I am currently feeding TetraColor Tropical Granules and looking into getting something higher quality to start rotating in. Recommendations welcome on a higher quality food that won't bankrupt me would be great.

I feed my fish daily, as much as they can eat in 1-3 minutes. But I know fish can go days without eating so your schedule is probably fine.

One thing that is good is variety for fish. I feed my fish a staple of micro pellets, large shrimp pellets, and flakes. And then I have snacks like shrimp and bloodworms on occasion.

All of these foods will last me probably a year or more per purchase, so no breaking the bank. As a matter of fact, I'll probably have to buy some before they run out, due to going out of date.

I agree - there are variety of foods out on the market and most containers will last at least 6 months, if not a year.
I feed my community tank shrimp pellets, algae wafers, Spectrum small fish formula, as well as fresh peas and zucchinI ( twice a week )
I only feed a small pinch of food every other day. This seems to work and the tank does not get very dirty.

I feed my fish every day at 8am, and 5pm with an auto fish feeder. I also occasionally feed them freeze dried blood worms (about 3-4 times per week)

I feed my fish NLS Thera A+, Bloodworms, Mysis, Meater Eater w/Garlic, Vitamin Flakes, Zucchini, Omega One, Immune Booster flakes, from the top of my head.

I have the food on a 2 week rotation.

ditto on the nls. my food supply is a bit crazy. I got omega one tropical flakes, tetra veggie algae wafers tropical pellets omega one chiclid flakes nls for cichlids, and whatever greens they will eat leftover from dinner. I feed 3 times a day for 30 seconds.

Wow some of you are feeding 3 times a day? Seems like I am "underfeeding" as I only feed what they can eat in less than a minute every other day....

That is my schedule too since one of my betta girls got SBD, the greedy pig

NLS everyday once a day.

A treat of pea or frozen blood worms or shrimp or other likewise frozen food every other day. So fed once a day every day and twice a day every other day.
