As long as you're mixing it up a bit I think you're fine on your variety. I think I'm understanding you correctly on the "skip a day" statement to mean that you are skipping one food but feeding another. If you mean to say that you do not feed them every other day, that is not appropriate. It's OK to go a day or two without food on occasion but not to do so on a regular basis. They need to be fed at least once a day. Most people on this forum feed their fish 2-4 times a day.
Quantity will depend on how much they will eat. The quality becomes a factor too. They only eat so much before they're full, so denser and healthier is better. You want to have the highest protein and fat content possible while still getting a fair amount of plant and algae in their diet.
