My feeding is basically the same as QAs. I feed once a day. Never weighed it out, but it's about 3/4 of a solo cup by hand, every afternoon at the same time (or as close as I can).

I dont want my little pigs getting gorged on pellets so they'll be more likely to be the predators they are...yes...Panfish are predators too. It's one way I try to help keep everything in balance and there's never anything left after about 5 minutes. I make sure any fish being held in my holding cage get enough to eat, but there are a lot of GAMs and fry that find their way into the cage, so the sequestered get to feed on them as well. An interesting observation...I had a couple BG fry decide they liked it in the cage, now they're too big to get out, so now I can see how long it takes them to get up to 5 or 6 inches.
