So I currently have only three fish in my tank as right now. I have once fat clown that has been with me for 2 years, a royal gamma I have had for about a year and a fox face. I feed 1 mysis frozen cube a day. Half in the morning and half at night. My fish always seem hungry when I walk by the tank. The finish all the food every time I put it in. Should I be worried? Should I change my feeding habbits? Should I change food?
 
Post some pics - as long as they aren’t thin you are probably feeding enough. They also have plenty to graze on in the tank.

Fish like to beg for food - they know who’s feeding them so they always will be at the front when you come by.
 
You can feed as much as you want as long as you aren’t having high nitrate and phosphate issues. I would recommend giving the foxface some nori or food that contains some seaweed, but otherwise it doesn’t sound to me like you’re under feeding your fish.
 
I would add more variety, LRS is nice, some nori for the foxface.

My cats and dog think they are hungry all the time too. Cats just want fresh food in the bowl so they can stick their nose up at it… dog just wants whatever I am having…

So I have held back on feeding nori to the foxface cause I want him to eat some bubble algea and he does. I have almost got rid of it with manual removal and him. Once it's gone I will add some nori

Makes sense. I did the same with mine for a while until he started eating bubble algae.

My nitrate is 3 - 5pm can't really tell and my phos is 0.07
