How often/much should I feed juvenile spotted gar??

[pondbetweenwalls]

I recently started feeding my 9" gar a diet of cut up tilapia fillet. Any advice on how often I should I feed it and how much every time?

Each tilapia strip is about 1.5 inches long and a quarter of an inch thick. About the size of a typical feeder fish.

Other feeding tips and suggestions would be appreciated as well! Thanks.

I’d feed daily.

At least once a day. When juvies doesn’t hurt to power feed 2/3 times daily.
