Feeding question

Hi, please, help out with feeding question.
I have 1 clown, 1 draggon wrasse (both about 2in), 2 turbo snails and 5 small snails.
I feed them flakes one day, shrimp another (1/3 cube) - IS THAT ENOUGH?
I read some info on fish and it states - feed 2-3 times a day - not sure if I should quit my job and feed my fish :) lol
Seriously, is what I'm doing enough?
Also, I will add a dwarf angel and a small goby or blenny......what then?

Ditch the flakes.
What type of shrimp?
Most of us only feed once a day. It depends on the fish. For example: Anthias and most filefish like to eat small meals throughout the day. Clowns can live with every other day.
Look into frozen cubed foods like Emerald Entree and Marine Cuisine, they are by far two of the best on the market. Also, PE Mysis. It is more expensive than regular mysis, but there is a noticeable difference in the fish when they're eating it.

With only two fish, here's what I'd do:
Defrost 1/2 of cube of each and feed a tiny amount at a time and observe how much the fish are actually eating.
Whatever is left, just put in the fridge and save for the next feeding.
**Two fish and a few members of your CUC should not be able to eat even 1/2 a cube in one feeding, so the 1/2 cube of each should last a few days**
