Allright, well, I bought Hikari Oranda Gold yesterday! Woo hoo... Pet's smart
specially ordered it for me because it ran out, but anyway!
I have a Redcap Oranda. It's about 2 inch and a half, so I guess it's fairly small,
but the thing is... I don't know how many pellets I'm supposed to give it to feed on.
What do you guys think? and how many times per day?

I would start of small when you are around to watch. Maybe 10-15 pellets epending on the size or so and see how fast she gobbles. Twice a day should be plenty and even if you are not around to do the second feeding, she will be fine. There are a lot of good threads in here about food choices *I know, reading toay myself*
You might want to take some time and read about other foods your new love might enjoy...have fun

You'll want to soak them and make sure they sink. When I fed that I would put enough in there to feed him for about 2 mins. I did this twice a day.

I feed this food - and I hope I am feeding them enough! I feed about 20-25 pellets for 6 fish, once a day. Presoaked of course. I also give them lettus in the veggie clip.
