i have a few 2 month old 2-3" FHs, should i feed them regularly 3x a day or does anyone intentionally starve them a day or two at this size? or are there other feeding options?
 
I have read that you can have them fast one day a week on the same day ea. week. Actually, in the wild, fish have to put up with times when they can't find food, right?

at that size i would continue feeding 3 times daily. smaller amounts the first 2 times and a big dinner with bloodworms included. :D
This is what I did till my JK hit about 5 inches then fast 1 or 2 days a week(in a row if 2) The fasting is to clean out there digestive system.
 
alrite, cool, going to feed them now then... they've been antsy for some food.
