Feeding babies: How many times a day?

Hello!

How many times a day should we feed the babies (mollies)? They were born april 21 rst. The first two weeks, day time, I fed them every 4 hours, since yesterday, every 6 hours. I give only a little amount of food every time, knowing their stomac is the size of one of their eye.

I give them special food for babies and today blood worms for the first time.

I feed my fry 3-4 times a day( though mine are younger than yours). Extra feeding are okay for them because they are using all of their energy to grow. Just make sure the food doesn't effect the water quality As fry get older, they will need to be fed less.

Thanks!

My adultes ones, I feed them twice à day; when should I start feeding my babies only twice a day?

They will probably be ok with 2x a day feedings now, if you would like. Or you could wait another week or two, it really depends on what you think is best
