Been feeding them every day but just 5-10 small worms but they still seem fat. How often do y’all recommend?

Every other day.

5-10 each or for everyone. I would feed every other day and switch it up some. I feed frozen bloodworms,hatch baby brine shrimp and culture vinegar eels. I use this, it doesn’t require feeding or aeration and is so easy. https://a.co/d/40PMK2g Good luck!

We generally feed every other day, or twice per week in a stable, diverse system, with access to supplementary vegetation.
This depends on the available plant matter and appropriate diet seen in your tank.
Biologically speaking, every ~2 weeks. In a well-planted, diverse system attempting to emulated a natural environment, our Fish begin to suffer after ~20 days without sufficient available nutrients.
Jeremy Gay and Dick Mills recommend feeding a large meal every 15 days.
Some YouTubers recommend significant meals to the point the food might spoil before it’s eaten once per month.

I wouldn’t necessarily feed every day. But good quality food when you do. There aren’t any set rules unless you follow a procedure and blah, blah.
Fish should look healthy and be disease free. If you can achieve that, then what you’re doing is right,

They don’t need much food you feed them every second day

I have fish like that I’m supposed to feed every 2-3 days, but I feel weird not feeding them everyday, so instead, I feed them very little, like enough to eat within 30 seconds or less, and on the “off” days, I feed them a bit of boiled broccoli
