Feeding Buttikoferi

Yesterday I purchased a 4 inch Buttikoferi from my LFS, I pretty much know WHAT to feed him, I was just curious on how often I should feed him. Below are 2 photos of him.

pellets, shrimp, and bllodworms would be a good start

Yeah, I'm trying to get him to eat pellets, I have the sinking & floating kind....he rarely goes to the top to get them, I fed him some tilapia earlier, he nibbled on it, didn't really eat alot of it. I'm thinking he still needs to get comfortable, like I said I've only had 1 day. I have noticed he doesn't like the powerhead pump on in the tank....is that because he still young?

These fish are true gluttons, even putting oscars to shame! I feed mine about three times a day. They will eat till their mouths are full and then I stop. I purchased the newest one about 2 months ago at 1". He's now 4"! Have fun!!
