Make sure you also feed something with a high veggie content, they will stay healthier.
 
YUP! I have formula 2 (the frozen cubes) They also will get algae wafers and some spinich!

QUICK QUESTION!!!
How many times a day should I feed these cuties? They are all about 1.5 - 2 inches, just babies....

Lots of small feedings for small active fish, fewer as they grow larger, 3 sounds about right, thats how I grow out fish like balas for resale.

I would feed 3 times a day, but smaller feedings.

A hint if you are using frozen food--you can thaw the cube(s) in a tupperware container in the fridge (with your supplements), and just give your fish a pinch at feeding time. The food will keep for a few days.

Yup...Already do that for my other fish....I make a mix of different foods, freeze it, and when I need a little chunk, I just break off a piece!

You are ahead of me! I just figured it out recently because I have a 1" C. solandri puffer in my 10 gallon quarrantine and I don't want to give him a whole cube three times a day :WHOA: . I like the idea of mixing different foods . . . Do you just do it in a baggie and mash it flat so it's easy to break off pieces?

Project!

LOL....I first mix it all in a bowl, and then put it into a ziploc bag, and yes...flaten it out...lol...It is quit fun to do....I love cooking, so I love to mix their food up!!!
