this is something u got to think and consider for yourself....

for a matter of fact.... i know kois do not have the sense that they are full... basically... u can keep feeding them till they explode from over eating.... ok... maybe not explode... but they die from overeating....

for fish.... er...... feed till u see their stomach bloated slightly? you got to test and try try... no two fish are the same.... maybe u get one glutton and another aneroxic bugger... u also do not know.... feeding 2 to 3 times a day should be enuff....

maybe can check with Roidan.... his fishes all fat fat one.... nv saw such fat tangs in my life before...

for me, I start of daily with a cube of brine or mysis shrimp together with sea-weed. manual feeding will enable the food being fed in small portion such that the fishes are able to consume them before turning to waste in your filter system.

subsequently, i leave the feeding to 3 intervals period (at noon, late afternoon and night) using auto-feeder. I set the auto-feeder to lowest amount of food such that the fishes will able to have some snacks :P and yet won't be over-fed. :)
