How many times a day should I be feeding a 6 month old convict? Right now she is getting a Hikari carnivore pellet broke into 4 pieces twice daily.
 
I feed once a day in the evenings, it's up to you if you would like to break it up into two smaller feedings. I usually feed as much as they can consume in 30-45 seconds. Feeding is one of the most difficult tasks in our hobby to master for newer aquarist, with most people overfeeding their fish.

That is what I am afraid of... Overfeeding! She wasn't eating anything when I first got her but switched to the sinking carnivore pellets and she is a fiend.
She will devour a pellet broke up in no time. Just didn't know if I should feed her more often since she is growing. It "seems" like it would be alot but she eats it all immediately.
