Default Newbie Feeding Question

Greetings,
I finally got 5 different Africans for our 50 Gal. tank last weekend...
1-Yellow Zebra
1-Cherry Red African
3-Kenieye assorted

For food I was told flakes & got Omega One Super Veggie Flakes & Tetra
Spirulina, which I was told to mix 3x a day (To me seems excessive)

Then I go to another store & am told about pellets, so I purchase Hikari
Cichlid Excel Mini Pellets & Im told 5 pellets (YES 5 MINI PELLETS) per DAY?!?!
Only 1 Feeding per day???

Can someone please, from your experience please steer me in the right direction

Thank you
David

if they are still juveniles then feed them as much as they can eat in about
30 seconds, 3 times a day.
try and shake it up so they get a nice varied diet.
