How often do you feed your juvies?

[WakinAZ]

I have some growout Midas about 5" TL. I'm feeding them 3 times/day. When should I slack off to 2 times per day, once per day? I'm thinking around 6" for 2x and maybe 8" for 1x... I don't want to hinder their maximum growth.

I looked around the web and in my various books, and all the info is about fry, not much at all about what happens after.

TIA

I feed all my fish when I feel like it, regardless of their size. The only exception I make is for fish under 1" or if I'm trying to condition them for spawning they get a ton of high protein foods, all the time. Not feeding them has never affected their growth. I feed them 1-2 times a day (usually before I go to bed and a second time whenever.) I try to starve them 2 days a week to clean their systems out. Usually theres a few times a week I don't feel like feeding them anyways so it works out well.
