How much to feed 17 small fish?

I have 16 small fish and 1 betta in my 46 gallon aquarium. I feed them tetramin and betta pellets.

I have glofish, rosy reds, glow tetras, guppies, and rasboras.

I have been feeding them once a day (a pinch). I know the importance of not over feeding them, but the question arises for me, are they being fed enough with so many in there?

Please Help!

Answer #1

They eat everything in about 1 1/2 minutes. So, I guess that’s okay then? Still feed them once a day?

Answer #2

Answer #3

feed the fish if it takes them over 2 minutes to eat the food then you are feeding them too much. (I’m not talking 2:05 seconds more, like three minutes is a clear sign you’ve been feeding them too much.)
