So I have 2 angels n a fox face n a goby n a pair of clown n I used to feed every other day n now feed everyday. I usually feed them 3 cubes of frozen food n a pack of those stinky foods lol. So on y'all opinion. What's the right amount I should feed them n how often ? Thanks in advance
 
Between my 2 seahorses, yellow watchman, PJ cardinal, 2 clowns and bicolor pseudo, I feed one cube daily. I feel that you should feed modestly and observe the behavior of the fish. Do you have a lot of excess fish food or algae issues? If yes, then I would say that you are overfeeding and a lot of the food is going to waste.
 
I think optimal is to feed multiple times a day (an auto feeder can help here). In terms of amounts I think the fatter the fish the better but your limitation is your system's ability to process the excess food you are adding. Spot feed with a baster and make sure most of all the pieces are eaten by something before you squirt more food in the tank.

As Krista said, if you have algae issues then more than likely you are feeding excess food and causing the algae issues.
 
It's a 125 n the angels r I think the ones name I can't never remember. I think ebeili angel n a coral beauty angel
 
What kind of frozen food, i.e. Mysys Shrimp, Brine Shrimp, some blend? I don't think I'd use more that one cube of Mysis Shrimp, along with a pinch or two of something like a New Life Spectrum Marine Pellets. I'd also add a algae clip for some kind of dried seaweed, i.e. Nori.
 
Yes mysis n blend n brine shrimp. I used to put one of each n a pack of those instant ocean seaweed blend or pacific krill. I was just afraid of underfeeding them
