so i just restocked my tank and added 2 menpachi ( big eye squirrel fish ) which are nocturnal. the rest of my stock are day time fish. How do i feed both of these types of fishes?

i usually feed twice a day sometimes once a day only since i work extremely early in the morning. i feed when i wake up on my days off or my mom usually will at like around 8-9am then i will feed late in the afternoon around 4pm-5pm when it's usually light out still.

will they be fine on this feeding schedule or should i feed the 2nd time slightly later at like 6-7pm? i am currently not using any lights i only have some T5 lights that make the tank hotter and evaporates a lot of water throughout the week it also only has 1 mode.
 
If you see them eating when you feed, I imagine they will be alright. However, if you do not see them eating (eagerly, I would hope), then it might be wise to invest in an auto feeder of some sort... That is, of course, assuming they will eat prepared foods...
