'Tol, I do the same thing. I only stop when they start spitting out their food. And for small ones to boost them up, I usually feed them 3-4 times a day. Give him bloodworms and any live food too. There's a lot there in our country and it's very cheap compared here.

Thats how Most people do it.
What you want to do is feed it to that point and after 4 hours do it again.
and then again and then starve him for one day and do it again.
His stomach will stretch bigger and bigger and then he will grow faster and faster.
You might want to feed him some bloodworms once or twice a week to help his digestion.
Good luck bro

Thnx Bro,i'll be waiting for any advice of yours bro.It would be a great help.

i never do that, it gets too messy when they spit them out....
