Overfeeding?

[mx4ever]

Hey guys, Im having a difficult time finding relevant information on overfeeding regarding clown knife fish. I recently acquired one and have him hooked on shrimp and krill pellets (the same ones I feed my pictus catfish). I have a few questions:

1. First, how much food is appropriate/day for a CK that is app. 6 inches?

2. I've noticed that right after he eats the pellets, his stomach becomes awfully distended; you can almost see the entire outline of the pellet. This usually subsides in a couple of hours, but I just want to make sure Im not harming him (or he's harming himself) by eating pellets. Thoughts?

I'm guessing that with the pellets, they are still rather hard in his stomach and he is still a small guy. I would count the pellets out if they arent to small and feed him a few at a time, possibly twice a day. Some fish dont know when to stop and it can hurt them. My knife eats like a horse, but he is over 20" long so I can really see his stomach getting that big.
