How Much to Feed At each feeding, slowly offer as much food as your clownfish can eat in five minutes. Feed in small portions—it’s much better to feed your fish too little than it is to feed it too much. If you feed your clownfish dry flakes, one or two flakes should be sufficient for an individual fish at each meal. Any food left over in the tank after a five-minute feeding is a sign that you’re overfeeding your fish.

When Your Fish Won’t Eat If a clownfish exhibits signs of a lost appetite, this often indicates a health problem. In all cases, a clownfish refusing food should, before anything else, be given a water change. Deteriorating water conditions often kill a clownfish’s appetite, but clean water quickly restores it. If your clownfish still isn’t hungry after the water change, examine it closely for signs of disease and treat it accordingly. depend on its appetite, the size and various other factors. There are no specific ways to measure the quantity but goldfishes and most of the fishes are feed the amount they can eat over 2 - 5 minute period.
