How often do you feed your fish?

my pleco ate regular food...I wonder if it would've prefered an algae wafer
 
I don't think the pleco is too particular. I supplament the flakes that fall to the bottom with the wafer as I didn't think he was getting enough to eat from flakes alone (the tropicals are mighty hungry) and I didn't want to overfeed and just have a large amount of biomass decomosing on the bottom of the tank.

Every time I go fishing I feed them fish about a hundred crickets. Sometimes I feed them worms. Of course they only get to eat once, unless they are smart and get off the hook.

Every 3 days. It keeps the tank cleaner because they will eat the stuff on the bottom two between feedings.

Hm so you'll rather they eat their own poop so you don't have to clean the tank as often?
