I've found a better (though still not perfect) rule of thumb is that a fish's stomach is about as big as its eye. So that's about the amount of food you want to feed. ><>

I have always worked that if there is any food left I have fed too much, which is practically impossible as I measure all the food not a pinch here and there.

They are not like human beings, so we have to feed them at regular intervals and adequately. One caution is that they should never be overfed also. You may feel it funny when you know that there is a rule for feeding the Oscar fish in which we have to feed them for two minutes. And that is the amount required for it. Different fishes have their own peculiar feeding styles.
