once a day and a very small amount; grab the food with only two fingers. the gap between your fingers should be not more then 10mm.
For the sucker fish, you can go buy algae wafers it there is no algae in the tank. Feed it one wafer a day.

You should feed them once a day, no more than what they can eat in three minutes for most of the fish in your tank. However, for the sucker fish, you will need to buy some algae wafers if there isn't enough algae in your tank for it to eat (if you don't see any algae, you should be supplementing, and the stringy stuff doesn't usually count for sucker fish). In this case, you would put in some and then siphon out whatever is left after about 12 hours.
Also, your tank is overstocked currently so you need to make sure that you have a good filter, do frequent water changes (at least weekly, if not more) and make sure to not overfeed your fish, which will contribute to the overstocking problem.

For the goldfish, all they can eat in about 5 minutes twice a dat would be good. The algae eater needs supplemental food whether there is algae in the tank or not. Feed it algae wafers and some fresh veggies. Give the veggies a few times a week, the goldfish will like them too. Leave them in fairly large pieces and remove the extra after about 30 minutes. Stuff like lettuce, zuccinni, squash all are good.

Good advice so far (except for the guy who can only type one letter per line!) - I only wanted to add that you should feed the algae wafers at night. Plecostomous (sucker catfish) are nocturnal, so if you feed too early, the goldfish will eat the algae wafers and your pleco won't get any food! :(

Feed them twice a day with a tropical fish food. Give them only the amout of food they will clean up in 10 minutes probably one small pinch of food if they are all small fish. If you feed them too much you will have to clean your tank alot more often.

ok since goldfish usually are pretty dirty fish ur best bet is twice a day one in the morning one at night whatever they dont eat they will pick through the rocks and get what they didnt goldfish will eat every time you feed them if you let them but ur best bet is not to

Once a day every day, preferably at the same time all they can eat in fifteen minutes.

Once a day..only a pinch of food..otherwise your tank will get cloudly.
