Once or twice a day everyday. How big is the tank?

Be very careful not to overfeed. The water quality in a 2.5 gal can go bad very quickly. Youre overstocked as it is.

Also, why did you make so many threads on what to stock your 2.5 gal with, when your were going to stock it with what ever you wanted anyway?

I fed mine, twice a day. I agree, a 2.5g is very small for a dwarf gourami. I would suggest at least a 5g, and that may even be pushing it.

Dwarf gouramis would prefer company and for that you need at least a 10g but a 20g would be better. In a small tank I would only feed once a day or water quality could go bad. A dwarf gourami really does not belong in a tank under 10g. That is not an appropriate setup for that fish.
