    Good day,

    I would like to find out how much and what i should be feeding my fish.

    i have
    4 * Silver tip tetra
    5 * endles
    2 * tiger barb
    1 * golden barb

    i don't want to over feed them as it makes the tank dirt and the fish are allot more active as they are all scrumaging around the tank looking for a meal.

    I have just been feeding them a small pinch once every evening.

    You should be feeding just enough that your fish can eat within 2 minutes. Anything more than that and you are overfeeding. And you can do this twice a day. But the key to a healthy diet is variety. Feed good quality foods. Not cheap and nasty foods.

    Yup, agree with the above.
    Don't get cheap food. Rather spend a bit more and get better quality.
