i have 9 fish. 2 clowns, Kole tang, dwarf flame angel, melanurus, 3 pajama cardinals, and a Midas Blenny. I typically feed nori 3 days a week ( full sheet), and about a quarter size and a half of pe mysis and rods daily. Is that enough food or not enough.

Not really sure what the ‘formula’ is for fish feeding. I typically feed enough food that they devour in a 10-15 time period. As long as my fish look fat and happy I am good. I would say look at the tank/fish more see who eats and makes sure they look good. They will be fine.

Yeah there's not really a magic number or quantity. You make sure your fish are not malnourished. Most of us don't mind if our fish are a little over-nourished.

But If you have small gobies or blennies, they will turn into little sentient vacuum cleaners sucking up every little morsel they come across. When it's all said and done they'll look lie they swallowed a golf ball.

This isn't mine -- But here's what I'm talking about with blennies
