feeding is not the only part of making your fish grow fast, water changes play just as important a role.

so if you are going to feed two meals a day then do two water changes per week.

food items (chopped to fit): shrimps, muscles, cockles, bloodworms, whiteworm, brineshrimp.

be careful not to overdo it on the high proteins though, you need a ballance so include lots of vitamins in the diet from a good quality sinking pellet or waffer. if the vitamins are not available the the fish will not use as much of the fats as efficienty as it could.
