The Hikari pellets are the sinking type - I've never been a fan of floating, as the dominant fish don't often allow the other fish to eat enough. Here's the link
Currently, the fish are only eating 1-3 medium sized pellets per feeding, so no more than 6 or so per day. Normally, they'll happily take 4-6 each feeding, plus some of the New Life Spectrum smaller pellets. Most of my Cichlids are at least 4", several are fully grown adults around 6-8". It's primary a peacock tank, with a Frontosa, Leleupi, Brichardi, and Hap Obliquiden.
I probably don't feed enough for them to eat longer than about 15 seconds right now, since I'm trying to keep things light. Under normal conditions, they'll usually eat all of the food I put in the tank within 1-2 minutes. As you know, they're pigs when healthy!
I've always avoided feeding on the weekends as I've heard it's wise to give them a fast day or two in order to clear out their bowels.
