how do I know how much to feed my fish?

[AquaAdam]

Hi, I've got the following fish in my tank but I am unsure if I am over/under feeding them. I looked through the search but didn't find the info I was looking for so I'm hoping someone can help.
I currently have a bi-colour blenny, a hippo tang, a flame angel, a lamarck angel and 2 clowns, as well as some inverts.
My question is how often should I be feeding them and how much? I usually switch between the newlife spectrum pellets, frozen mysis shrimp and noori, but I'm feeding them at least one of the above a day. for the mysis I am usually giving them a full cube, the spectrum is usually a couple pinches and the noori is usually about a 3"x1 1/2" piece. Is this too much? and if so what is a good schedule to get into for feeding them?

Thanks!

As much and as often as you can while keeping no3 and po4 down.

As much as will fit in each fish's mouth. Every fish has to fill his mouth daily as a baseline of what he should eat. Meat, however, is more 'nutrition dense' than algae, so allow the 'green' eaters about 3x that. That's a rough indication. But also check how much is falling down to be eating by the CUC, who also need to eat. If THEY are leaving food more than a minute---you're overfeeding.

Feeding our fish is one of the most fun things we do in this hobby. Tangs graze all day. Sounds like your doing fine. Small amounts added per feeding is a good approach. Just watch your nitrates which is a good indication of overfeeding. Fat fish are happy fish.
