First fish feeding question

[rjjr1963]

I have a 20 gallon long that is a little over a month old. I cycled with fresh live rock from the LFS. Ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrate >5. I have two Watchman gobies, one is 1 1/2" long and the other is about 3/4" long. I've been feeding them about 2.5 ounces of frozen brine shrimp and they eat every last bit. When I get done feeding they are still waiting for more and I don't know if I should feed them more or not. Thanks.

One good meal a day is fine IME. Are you seeing their bellies get fat? If so your feeding plenty, just make sure that none of it is allowed to sit and rot. Also, you might want to think about feeding something else as well. Flakes, pellets etc are some good alternatives. GL.

I haven't noticed their bellies getting fat but they're always begging for more. lol

In general the fish should consume all the food within 2-3 minutes, if it takes longer than that for them to eat all the food you are giving them too much food.
