I have two small, inch-long Ocellaris Clownfish. The food I have is New Life Spectrum Thera A+ Small Fish Formula A. Very miniscule pellets. So how many should I feed them? I've been feeding a small pinch, which is around 8-10 pellets once a day. Does that sound right?
 
I usually feed my little guys twice a day. Consider some frozen food like Ocean Nutrition Formula 2 as an alternate to the pellets.
 
I feed mine once a day
 
I usually feed mine until she’s not interested anymore. Once a day with New Life Spectrum 1mm pellets.
once a day with spectrum as well. I love that food. its what I attribute to my clowns spawning. switched to that and within 2 weeks I had eggs. good stuff.
and some LRS reef frenzy dosent hurt.
 
I feed 3-5 times a day or until I see them slightly bulging.

I'm pretty good with growing fish, unfortunately, I can't grow corals at the same levels.
