I was wondering how many times a day do you feed your baby peacock bass mine is eating live feeders and bloodworms hopefully to be pellet traained in the next couple weeks?

i don't keep cichla but my general rule of thumb for all young fish is twice a day every day for a couple weeks, then you can back it down to one good feeding a day. That's how I've handled all the fish I keep if I get them young.

With baby's, under 6", keep them well fed, 2-3 times a day and keep the water hot, around 85 degrees. Once they get to 6-8" they are basically bullet proof.
