Well, how big is big, when it comes to their bellies after eating? Sometimes, after the feeding my GSP gets all wired up and litterary jumps and darts from one place to the other. He also darts when I go near.

NOW, when I do not feed him for a day, the next day he's all in the glass looking at me, not slow but 'normal', doing his little swimming and regular fish stuff...

I usually give him bloodworms (1/3 of a block per day) - is that too much?

He's grown in the month or so that he's been with me, at least 1/3 of an inch, and his flippers and back flipper are looking great (he opens the backflipper alot now, before he did not used to).

to finish, I know he's happy, but I'm worried that I might overfeed my lil buddy.

Thanks!

I've always read that the belly should look full and slightly rounded but not protruding.

Here is a great article on feeding. A varied diet is suggested.
