Right now I have gotten my polypterus endlicheri off the feeders. I'm currently giving it those hikari massiveor pellets which it likes. How many should I be feeding it at a time?

I personally would drop 4 to 5 for a Endli that size , add in Tilapia with rotation of pellets. :)

+2 on the tilapia. It definitely beefs them up.

Dont go to crazy with the shrimp tho use it as a treat if I recall it builds up thimasine (sp) in thier system or somthing to that effect which is bad.
 
The tilapia is that something I wmtad buy fresh or is it like pellet form or what? This is new to me.
Just get it from a grocery store or Walmart (seems best price). It will be in frozen foods and comes in a bag with the individual filet sealed and wrapped inside. You simply thaw and cut up in bite sized pieces to feed your fish. Really puts size on poly quickly!
