i feed mine once a day bloodworms and feeders once a week. if your not feeding enough youll know when one looses a peice of its tail (from experience(it grew back tho))

Once a day, when they are larger twice a week, and full adults once a week.
I would feed three times a day until they are full. Just keep them well fed until they get a few more inches on them.

When mine were that small, I'd feed them twice a day. Blood worms in the morning, and then around MY dinner time ide feed them pellets and a tiny piece of shrimp.
