Default How often should you feed the Fish

To some extent, it depends on the fish. Carnivores can handle being fed
erratically, but every two days is a good schedule. Larger (upwards of 3")
omnivores can easily handle being fed once a day. Morning is best, since that
gives them all day to "graze" on the leftovers. Small fish prefer two or three
feedings a day. One can usually set up some arrangement which allows vegetarian
fish to eat all day.

At present, the piscine population of my tank consists of small omnivores. They
get fed twice a day; occasionally thrice.

If you torture the data long enough, eventually it will confess
to anything.
