The fishes will let you know that they're hungry by displaying food icons which indicates their hunger level. The yellow icon means that your fishes are hungry, the red icon means that they are starving and when the red icon is blinking, it means that your fish is dying and will die in a short time. Also, your fish will stop growing when the hunger level is in red icon. So you need to feed them or else they will die.
You can also determine whether your fishes are hungry when the tank icon's border is red.
