feeding my JD's

How often should i feed these little buggers?
they always are at the glass 'begging' for food haha, should i feed them more often then i do my community tank? they are about 1.5 inches long so do they need extra food to grow?

thanks,
Brandon

I'd feed them 3 to 4 times a day, just do frequent PWC's to keep waste in check. Juvenile fish need to eat more often than adults.

I've got some jewels about that same size and they can't ever get enough. I felt like giving in to them 3-4 times a day was too much, but I feel better now to know that's ok. I don't give them a ton of food each time, but enough to hold them over. They have already snacked on a few other fish I used to have...

When I got my jack he was about 1.5 inch too... He would eat non stop... Now he is pushing 4 inch and I feed him once a day
