Hello from 80º Miami

What is the minimum frequency at which fish can be fed?
I feed mine every other day but was wandering if that could be extended or if you think that isn't enough.
Thanx.
P.S. What would you call dwellers in this site???

I feed once a day. I don't have any reason for that except for the guys just look hungry!

About once a week I skip a day. Again, I don't have any good reason for this it's just been something I do.

i feed every other day...sometimes every third...but when i do feed, its in several small feedings so they eat as much as i put in and it doesnt go and settle someplace to rot.

Thanx for replying guys. Wit, that's a good technique for feeding them, I mean the several feedings routine. Unfortunately I'm not home during the day so it's not possible. I do feed them little by little until they just ignore the food. And Ess, my fish always look hungry.

twice a day, flakes in the morning/thawed shrimp at night,but just enough that none goes to waste.
