How do you know how much to feed your clowns? I have a pair about 1 1/2 inches in length (misbar ocellaris & black/white ocellaris) that I feed pellets in the morning/early afternoon and frozen mysis shrimp in the evening. Is that enough for them? I usually feed slowly and when they start losing interest I stop feeding.
 
My clowns always act like they are starving to death. I feed once a day. Flakes, pellets, Rod's, or Mysis.
 
Most fish would eat all day if you were willing to feed them. Its just not necessary.
 
I've heard the eye of a fish is about the same size as there stomach. I use this method but I never did research that.
