Give them a day to settle in. After that feed them once or twice a day, but only what they can eat in 2-3 minutes. It will be very important not to over feed them while the tank is cycling. Any significant over feeding will lead to more ammonia than the fish can handle.

Actually I wouldn't even feed them until after a day or maybe two. And then only sparingly. Fish can live up to two weeks without food with little problems. Let your ammonia come down a little before you start feeding them with regularity as you would in a cycled tank. Your fish will be able to handle it.

You can start feeding whenever, if you are trying to cycle, you need to keep the fish alive, if the fish die, they are practically useless.
