How often do you feed QT fish?

[AquaDan]

I'm worried about ammonia buildup from overfeeding in a 10 gal QT. How often would you feed two small clowns and two even smaller gobies?

I feed my QTed fish once a day. I do a 1gallon water changed daily, after feeding.

I do 25% twice a week, once they are feeding regularly.
I speak from experience.
In the past, I had a mandarin goby I was training onto frozen mysis and a damsel in a small QT tank. Once the goby was eating mysis, I was excited and instead of feeding a couple of mysis a day and sucking it out if he didn't eat it, i began to feed heavily at 15 a day, bascially as much as he could eat to gain weight. Well, less then a week later, I had a massive bacterial bloom due to nutrient build up, and both bit the dust.

Thanks for the reply Jenks.

Wow. I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip.
