Cut back to feeding every other day, most tropical fish don't need to eat every day.
Any leftover food needs to be removed from the tank water.

Food silt?
If there is any leftover food after feeding, you are overfeeding, which is never a good thing.

Rest of Your Aquariums:
My 40B formerly housed Lake Malawi cichlids. I enjoyed having them and may have cichlids again someday.
How I got started with aquariums.:
While I was growing up my parents always seemed to have at least one aquarium going. I remember freshwater tanks with swordtails and mollies and a huge saltwater tank with various inhabitants that dad never had much luck keeping alive.
Fish I have bred:
Unintentionally bred mollies once. Freaked me out when the mommy fish started eating the fry. Not good.
Why I like fish::
They're relaxing and fun to watch. It's interesting learning about different fish and aquatic plants and critters and how to care for them.
Best advice:
Do your research first, join AC and ask lots of questions from people with experience.
Other pets:
1 dog (Maltese) and 3 cats indoors. Chickens and cows outdoors.
