Actually no i did not right away and i was not seeing growth so i started doing combo's of dry everyday with tilapia and live 4 times a week ....stuffed with nuticious dry ..I must say now that they are over a foot all 4 of the metas i have i have slowed the feedings a bit and plan to even more ...Thier growth has slowed now and i have to cut back accordingly or i will just have to do more water changes like i am doing right nowLOL!!!!Overfeeding at this point is pointless and wastfull they are strong and robust fishes as you can see live and learn at this point i am going to try every other day and see how that go's

Cool man, thanks for the info, whatever your doing, your doing it right...those guys look great! i wish mine woulda made it. I just get nervous feeding them feeders, not just because of parasites but because i'm afraid once they get feeders then thats all they'll want. And conveting them is such a pain!
