Hi,
My fish are now eating cichlid pellets [hikari gold] large size.
My question is how many pellets should I give them over the course of a day?
I know the pellets are small, but I assume they swell up in the fish, and I dont want to cause the equivalent of feeding uncooked rice to a pidgeon and then it swells up and slits its belly.
Currently I am feeding my to 5" fish 6 pellets a day each, spread out over 3 feeds, is this to little, just right or not enough?
thanks for any help.

Feed as much as he will eat in about 2-3 minutes. This means dropping in a couple of pellets, watching him eat them, then dropping in a couple more and so on until your time is up.

Cheers,
Art
