At that size your best bet would be flakes.. Then when they hit 4-5" you can feed some sinking NLS or Hikari..

I disagree. I feed 1/2" fish pellets... NLS makes them down all the way to .5mm which is like a grain of sand.

But yes, I would feed a high quality pellet 2-3 times a day with lots of water changes.

I too start my Geos on pellets when they are 0.5-0.75". Big pellets will disintegrate quickly in water so the fish have no problem. Also, you know you can actually crush the pellets.

I use HBH foods. I would also try and feed them 3 time a day.
