When your feeding a tank of mixed species of fish , how do you make sure that all of them receive fair amount of food and yet , that none of them will bloat ? Thank you for answering my question

The best way to feed a mixed tank is to feed different things and when you feed, feed in two different parts of the tank so the more aggressive and/or energetic fish won't steal all the food from the more docile species.
I feed a mix of flake food, blood worms, shrimp pellets and algae wafers in my tanks, and I feed once a day. My African Dwarf Frogs tend to get bloated sometimes, in which case I don't feed for a few days. Fish can go a week or two without food, so it's actually good for them to skip a day here and there. Kensfish.com has a great variety of fish foods, FYI

The only time I have seen any of my fish bloat is when they get ahold of some of the algae wafers I feed my Amano shrimp.

I just mix the food and go with it. My Angels need protein food and the Rasboras need protein AND veggie. I just crush the two flakes up together and they all get a bit of each.
