New to pike and I jumped in with both feet and now I have to learn about my new fish, so..... (details: 2 atabapo's, about 10"and 11".)
What are you feeding yours, how often are you feeding and about how much. (I know the how much is subjective, so call it how much per inch of fish or something like that.)

I'm currently feeding Hikari sinking carnivore pellets, not massivore, the smaller pellets. I feed about 15 in the morning but all aren't getting eaten. About 6 trout worms (4") cut in 4 sections in the evening, that get sucked right up and about 6-7 thawed frozen krill that sometimes get eaten or partly. Later at night I do a cleanup and add some water from my top off tank.

Am I over-feeding, under-feeding or doing right? What else should I be adding for a good diet. Only had them since 4/3 and they haven't changed belly size at all.
 
sounds good to me these guys can eat ALOT so that doesn't sound like over feeding if your pike stuffes it self like they like to do just give it a day or two before feeding it again

good to hear its eating pellets my sveni won't touch pellets that food mix sounds good mabye add a few blood worms now and then most pike will eat alot of different foods just try to stay away from feeder fish
