How many feeding dishes to you use?

I have a 90 gallon tank with currently 5 females in it. I have 2 feeding dishes in the tank, but they only regularly use one. I have been watching their feeding habits and they have a system. They expect their food at a certain time and there is one female that eats first then three others chime in, and the largest one must eat much later at night because I don't regularly see her eat. So how many dishes do recommend for 5 females in one tank?

If it were my setup, I would use 3-4, whether they're used or not, just to insure there would be no food aggression.

I agree with Laney. With that much space and that many geckos, 3-4 seems like what I would feel is right. It allows all of them to eat at the same time if they want to.

Thanks for the input. I'm going to add an additional dish in with tonight's feeding.
