Ziti is doing great (except for a nipped tail ARGH), I'll get a measurement today.

OK, I've had him for 3 weeks and he's gone from just under 4" to 4.25". Every other day feeding. Nice and slow, just how I want it.

I tried skipping a day and about 90 molly babies disappeared until I started feeding daily again and they all showed back up I think they realized it was time to run for cover lol

I think every other day feeding is the best method, gives them time to digest food, plus when they grow up they'll be used to every other day feeding already.

I agree. I think there are only a few times when they(fish) should be fed more, super active, sick/sickly, or trying to get them on other foods and feeding very lightly. I have fed most of my fish every other day through out my life. But polys especially they mostly sit around all day. Most wild animals don't eat everyday at least not as much as we feed. All my fish still have fat bellies.
