So far I have Dooma on an every other day blood worm schedule, but snails everyday, and the frozen half shell clams haven't made it in yet, hopefully this week.
I use the Hikari frozen blood worm cubes, and cut them in half before feeding, I also occasionally throw a few pieces of seaweed in there as well. Should I be feeding everyday instead?
I'm also starting the salt process this week, woo hoo! I have the salt mixing in a bucket as we speak, seems to be taking longer than expected.

GPS is around 2", so still a baby. I know the blood worms do not offer good nutrition, but unfortunately fresh seafood around here is expensive, so my LFS is making special orders for me.

2" GSP is not a baby. Feed every other day.
Why feed an abei 5-6x/day?

should I be feeding my gsp snails every day?
So far I've been feeding about 4 snails 2 days out of the week, but he usually only eats 1-2 in front of me.
I've been feeding a mix of frozen mysis shrimp and bloodworms every day.
