How often should I feed?

[ShaneRiordan]

How often should I feed my 4 red bellies? They're about anywhere from 3-5 inches long, and are on a diet of shrimp, talapia, and pellets. How many times a day should I feed them? When I do, they each normally get a small chunk of talapia, or a whole small shrimp each.

at that size you can feed once every other day or even every two or three days. at 5-6" or bigger once a week will be ok.
or you can feed small amount everyday or every other day.

Define a small amount. I'd like to go every other day, so it a little chunk of talapia or shrimp/each enough for every other day?

yea as long as they all get to eat some then it'll be fine. I feed mine every other or every two days as well.

I feed mines daily. Pellets in the morning and frozen shrimp at night. They love it plus it cuts down on them biting each other fins.
