With my mixes, I serve about 1/2 tsp per tank. I have 10 in one tank and 11 in another tank. Sometimes it's all gone and other times it's not. Just depends on how many is up on a given night and if it's their favorite dish.

Hey OP I put tons of food down. Some mornings it looks like the 3 of them didnt even get out of their resting spots. Some morning it looks like Led Zeppelin stayed over. I feed fresh bc i can. Variety and freshness is key.

Some ppl smooth sand around food dishes so you can see if it disturbed/you can tell if they ate.

I had all of these fears when i first had my crabs. Now i know how much they eat vs what to expect. Good luck.
