    Ok,
    I have 2 clownfish, 1 blue and pink spotted goby, and 1 mandarin dragonette.
    also just got a peppermint shrimp and I have a Duncan coral, frogspawn, and candy canes that catch stuff when I feed the tank.

    My question is how much should I feed them?

    Rigth now I am just putting in 1 gum drop of brine shrimp or a piece of blodworms. Sometimes ill throw in some pellets as well. I usually only feed them every other day or every 2 days.

    Is this not enough? not often enough? thanks

    I spot feed everyone until they stop eating. I do this every other day. I feed mostly frozen food which is thawed and rinsed before it goes in my tank. Can you tell me more about your tank? Age, size, filtration?

    It is very little and you feed it once in 2 days at least make it a habit that you feed twice in a day.
