    Mine would eat 6-8 pellets per day, max in two sittings.

    Good rule of thumb is to feed fish only what they can consume in 15 seconds if you're feeding every day.

    You can kill them by over feeding but not by under feeding so possibly try feeding him every other day and only feed him 2-3 pellets

    Hard to say. Are you giving him more than a pinch a day? Has the portion size remained the same and he only recently seemed to stop eating it?

    Yeah, you should give him two pellets a day
