How many times do you feed a fish each day? And you feed a pinch right? I just got a fish today and I have no clue! Please help! I don't want them to starve :(

Don't worry, fish won't starve if you only feed them once a day. It's better to underfeed fish than overfeed them. If they're goldfish, once a day is plenty. If they're tropicals, twice a day and a pinch is right, or what they will eat in 5 minutes.

If you only have one fish, then you only need to feed it once a day. You should feed it the same time every day if possible. And you are right, you should only feed it just a pinch...

just once a day is fine..and a small pinch of food will be enough..if you feed too much then wot food he doesnt eat will sink to the bottom and in turn make your water cloudy ..so as i say a small pinch once a day,thats all i feed my tropical fish

a goldfish( assuming it's a goldfish ) will literally eat it self to death!! it may look hungry but over feeding will kill it, they will eat and eat and eat!! 1 times a day 3-4 times a week is plenty! in the wild fish go up to 6 weeks!!! without eating!! so a few times a week is ample food!!! contrary to popular belief.

either once or twice a day, what ever they will eat in a period of 3-5 min at each feeding
preferably at the same time every day
any food left after 5 min should be netted out
Hope that helps
Good luck
