I'm trying to figure out a schedule for feeding my fish. I hear and read so many different things. I have 3 blue damsels, a maroon clownfish, a coral beauty angel, diamond goby and a porcupine puffer. I try to feed a variety. I feed frozen shrimp, pellets, flake food, frozen mysis shrimp, and cube frozen food that contains a variety of fish. I don't feed these all at once! I tend to alternate days. I'm trying to keep all my levels down since I don't have a skimmer yet. Any suggestions would be great! Tia!

Make sure they consume all the food in 2-3 minutes and never let it stray away or hit the bottom. Fish are pigs and they never quit eating so you have to limit the amount of food to prevent excess nutrient problems.

Every other day? Or everyday? They everything I put in and the stuff that hits the bottom the goby takes care of.

2-3 smaller meals spaced out by at least an hour is much better than 1 large meal as well. Seems like you are on the right track though :)
